The Great Rock n Roll Swindle¹ Remastered & Repackaged Release date: 31st May 2010 In May a remastered and repackaged CD version of the soundtrack to Julien Temple¹s Œdocumentary¹, The Great Rock Œn¹ Roll Swindle¹, will be released. The film chronicles the legendary band¹s fictional rise and subsequent break-up from the perspective of ŒThe Embezzler¹, manager Malcolm McLaren. Infamous, even upon its release, the film was shunned by John Lydon and his appearance in it was taken only from old archive footage. When it came to putting together the soundtrack a similar approach was taken, with Lydon¹s vocals being taken from demo tapes and overdubbed with the rest of the band¹s newly recorded instrumental tracks. What resulted was an eclectic mix of hits, covers and guest appearances, including The Sex Pistols' own versions of The Who¹s ŒSubstitute¹, Chuck Berry¹s ŒJohnny B Goode¹ and Sid Vicious' take on Frank Sinatra's ŒMy Way¹, all nestled amongst tracks sung by Edward Tudor-Pole (of Tenpole Tudor), ŒThe Black Arabs¹ disco medley of the hits and a French version of ŒAnarchy In the UK¹ (complete with accordion). The album has now been fully remastered and comes packaged in a replica of the original vinyl sleeve, complete with gatefold digipack artwork, poster and stickers. Tracklisting: 1.
