Kiss This
Kiss This is a Sex Pistols compilation, released on 5 October 1992. It opens with the four singles the band put out before they split in early 1978, then works through the whole of their only studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, alongside the b-sides to all four of those singles.
The closing stretch moves beyond the original line-up's brief run. Two tracks come from The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle soundtrack, followed by Sid Vicious's 1978 solo single "My Way" and a 1979 remake of "Silly Thing" played by just Steve Jones and Paul Cook. The first pressing came with a bonus disc recorded at Trondheim on 21 July 1977, plus a foldout colour poster. The standard edition has 20 tracks, while the Australian version drops three, leaving 17.
