Recognizing that there's no such thing as bad publicity, manager-Svengali Malcolm McLaren molded the Sex Pistols into the most confrontational, nihilistic band rock & roll had ever seen. Propelled by Johnny Rotten's maniacal vocals, Steve Jones's buzz-saw guitar, and (most importantly) bass player Glen Matlock's hook-filled compositional skills, the Sex Pistols' early singles "Anarchy in the U.K." and "God Save the Queen" defined the raging style of British punk. By the time they recorded their lone 1977 album, Matlock had been bounced, replaced by the image-correct but utterly untalented (and ultimately group-dooming) Sid Vicious. Not a 10th as good as the singles, the album nontheless remains a bile-filled emblem of the times.

The Sex Pistols' only studio album Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols was released in October of 1977.
The Sex Pistols actually started with guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bass player Glen Matlock whom were in a bands together before The Sex Pistols and then were joined eventually by lead singer Johnny Rotten and lastly manager Malcolm McLaren.
The mid-1970s rock scene was at an ID crisis as laid-back rock, hard rock, progressive rock and so forth were at a musical stronghold and then punk came when The Ramones released its debut album in 1976. Once The Ramones hit, punk didn't take off here in the US like it did in England and then bands like The Clash, The Damned, The Jam and The Sex Pistols were the first crop of British punk bands.
Johnny Rotten then decided to attack stadium bands by wearing an "I HATE PINK FLOYD" T-shirt despite the fact he later admitted to being a fan. The Sex Pistols, unlike the other punk bands, were getting in trouble and getting banned pertty much all across England. Then, bass player Glen Matlock left the band as he wasn't punk enough so they replaced him with Sid Vicious, a musician who couldn't play.
When The Sex Pistols went to record its debut album with producer Chris Thomas (famed for work with Roxy Music, The Pretenders, Pete Townshend, Paul McCartney, INXS and Pink Floyd) and co-producer Bill Price, Sid was not used on the album so Steve played bass on the first two tracks and Glen Matlock was brought back in as a session musician to complete the album.
