One of my favorite things is being a live music photographer. Here is one of the best that I’ve ever taken. January 1978 #JohnnyRotten #SexPistols #LonghornBallroom #LiveMusic #ConcertPhotography #photography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #35mm #Minolta
Photo marked sensitive because it’s a very angry face w/eye contact

SEX PISTOLS
Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols
2020 Europe Reissue

Needed upgrade from my og UK pressing, which has seen FAR better days.

Reviews on THIS were pretty positive, so I grabbed one to have a good playable copy.

I put it on my turntable and was astonished. It sounds FUCKING GREAT.
Big, punchy, dynamic. Just massive sounding on my speakers.
I am beyond pleased.

Is there a better or more effective one trick pony in music history?
