Due to management wranglings with the British record company Virgin, Never Mind The Bollocks... Here's The Sex Pistols got its first release in France, via Barclay Records. To help counteract the French import it was decided to bring forward the UK release by one week, to October 28th, 1977. The band insisted that a 12th track was now added to the album, Submission. 50,000 copies of the album had already been pressed without Submission, so a one-sided 7" single was inserted with the track, along with a fold-out poster. The album was then immediately repressed with Submission added to the tracklisting.
