The Sex Pistols have signed a new recording contract ahead of the re-issue of 'Never Mind Of Bollocks'.

The punk band have signed a new deal with Universal Music Catalogue UK to release a 35th anniversary repackage of the 1977 album.

Talking about the deal, Johnny Rotten said: "Music can be great, when done by the great. The Sex Pistols are the greatest.

"Universal now has a trophy room, music is the imitation of nature, the Sex Pistols are nature, so please give generously. Thank you."

Karen Simmonds from Universal added: "To be given the opportunity to re-evaluate the Sex Pistols catalogue is every music lover's dream. We're looking forward to working with the band and celebrating their impact on worldwide culture."
