The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle DVD + Soundtrack CD Who Killed Bambi/ GRnRSwindl

Both discs are used, in excellent condition. *The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle* is a 1980 mockumentary directed by Julien Temple, which tells a highly stylized and fictionalized account of the rise and fall of the British punk rock band, the Sex Pistols. The film was largely orchestrated by the band’s manager, Malcolm McLaren, and presents him as the mastermind behind the group's success, casting the band members as mere puppets in his grand "swindle" of the music industry. The film’s tone is deliberately absurd and anarchic, echoing the rebellious nature of the band. It also features several infamous moments, including footage of Sid Vicious’ cover of Frank Sinatra's "My Way," which became iconic in its own right. Temple’s film is more of a satire or parody than a traditional documentary, filled with contradictions and exaggerations, blurring the lines between fact and fiction. *The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle* album serves as the soundtrack to the 1980 film of the same name, and it's a sprawling collection of music, blending original Sex Pistols songs with covers, solo tracks, and bizarre interludes that reflect the chaotic and provocative nature of the band and their manager, Malcolm McLaren. The music on the album is a mix of classic Sex Pistols tracks, new material recorded after Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) left the band, and several eclectic contributions that reflect McLaren's eccentric approach to the project.
