The Best Of British 1 £ Notes
The John Lydon collection on DVD
Best Of British 1£ Notes CD/DVD
Release date: 03 October 2005
John Lydon...Johnny Rotten, the stone in the shoe of the establishment, the original punk. John Lydon has made some remarkable records, and with them some remarkable videos. All these are included on this comprehensive DVD compilation, from the groundbreaking ‘Anarchy In The UK’ to post punk favourite ‘Death Disco’, to dance classic ‘Open Up’.
Also included are a number of extras including live performances from Finsbury park, Crystal Palace and the Phoenix Festival. As a special treat for die-hards also included in the extras are rare monitor mixes dug out from the PiL vaults of the tracks Death Disco and Albatross.
Through his work with the Pistols and PiL right through to his solo work, Lydon has left his unmistakable stamp on everything he has touched be it through his powerful lyrics, his snarling vocal or it's relentless anti melody. He has bridged rock, dance and of course punk and has truly left an indelible mark on music of the last 30 years.
The striking artwork has been created by John himself.
This DVD is released at the same time as the John Lydon - Best Of British 1£ Notes CD (tracklist below).
