The Pretty Vacant Drop Out Orchestra Mix is a disco track with vocal edits from the Guitar Hero version – 2 versions exist on youtube, (one just the Jones guitar track, and another being Rotten’s vocal, with Jones’ bass and Cook’s drumming).
Side One: Pretty Vacant / Liar / No Feelings / New York / God Save The Queen / Sod In Heaven Side Two: Anarchy In The UK / EMI Unlimited Edition / Bodies / Belsen Was A Gas / Holidays In The Sun / Did You No Wrong
Notes. Surfaced . Demos taken from 35thh Anniversary Universal Music boxset. With one exception, it claims to contain Sod In Heaven (which the band worked on during the US 78 Tour). However, the track is a Religion (PiL) / Action Man (Professionals) mash-up from YouTube. The cover is a wrap-around affair, not a proper sleeve.
