The Story Behind: Sex Pistols - Nevermind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, Ep 202

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums.  Sex Pistols arose from a clothing store in London and rode a wave of controversy straight to the top on their debut album. The team discuss partial bass playing, political jabbering in punk, and rolling your R's as a frontman.
