40 plus years on the Sex Pistols’ output from their original creative period together, forged amidst times of poor leadership and economic turmoil, continues to resonate in ways most could never have imagined. Not least those Stateside who witnessed the performances that make up this release.

A document of the last days of the band left to run adrift by absent management on a label that didn’t really understand, in a country that arguably felt more threatened than it did excited by the prospect of the group. Vital, primal and compelling are all words that can be used to describe the audio here. Until their return as a live entity in 1996, everything that followed their short, fateful tour of America in January 1978 was simply a parody of what had been. With concerts finally released in full and correctly sequenced for the very first time – Live In the USA 1978 takes us back to the moment the creative force that was Sex Pistols imploded.

This 3CD set includes recordings all three concerts. The raw production captures the essence of a live experience, giving listeners a powerful snapshot of a significant moment in punk history.
