First Japanese release. Released November 1977. Comes with obi, 4 page insert (with wrong lyrics) and a company postcard with a questionnaire survey. Early purchases came with an extra 'gift' record, given by the store.

Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols = 勝手にしやがれ is a variation of the first press with alternate "blue over black" obi.

Sleeve variation of obi strip:
1st release (this entry): The splash on the Anarchy-flag on the front of the obi is black over blue. On the back of the obi there is a short note mentioning "there is a postcard of questionnaire survey and a present inside" on the bottom (see pictures).
Later release: The splash on the Anarchy-flag on the front of the obi is blue over black. On the back of the obi there is no note on the bottom.

1st pressing obis (1977) have a small logo "100 Years Of Recorded Sound 1877-1977" at obi bottom left.
Of course 1978 pressing and later pressing does not have that logo.
