Its been a great year for the band and a great year for audience recordings.
While the set they play is pretty static I am always grateful for any recording sent my way, thank you to everyone that thinks of me and Acid Drops.

when I originally posted this way back in 2010, it was in MP3 format. I now have a FLAC version so thought I would share that with you all.
An average (below average???) audience recording from the Dutch mini Tour of '77
Well yesterday I shared a recording of this recent gig, then last night I got sent not 1, but 2 other recordings of the same gig from different sources.
One thing I have always promised you all is that I will share everything I get hold of, even if its only a different source of something I have already shared.

Wonderful news for all you Lydon and PIL fans out there.
I can confirm that PIL's 12th Studio album is completed and will be released very soon.
It will be released in conjuction with A Way With Media, who released the last album, Alive, back in March 2026.
An official announcement is expected once John finishes his Autumn Talk Tour.
It is tentatively hoped that it will be available by the end of this year, but that is not definite.
At this stage I cant say what its called, how many tracks or even what formats will be available, but A Way With Media have promised to keep me in the loop as much as possible.
Keep your eyes on official sites (and here) for more news as & when it comes
2 versions are available -
Taken from A Way With Media site -
"ARCHIVE is a landmark photographic memoir from John Lydon, marking 50 years since the cultural explosion of the Sex Pistols and celebrating one of music’s most uncompromising and influential figures.
Drawing on John’s personal collection, this beautifully produced book brings together rare and previously unseen photographs spanning his extraordinary life and career. From his childhood in London and the emergence of the Sex Pistols to the creation of Public Image Ltd (PiL), ARCHIVE captures five decades of music, controversy, creativity and cultural change.
Alongside the photography, John offers candid commentary and personal reflections on the experiences and people who shaped his life, including heartfelt tributes to his late wife, Nora Forster, and his long-time friend and manager, John “Rambo” Stevens.
Raw, personal and unmistakably John Lydon, ARCHIVE is more than a retrospective. It is his story, told through the images, memories and moments that mattered most.
* John Lydon has personally signed 'book plates' which can be affixed inside your book, or framed. The plates have been signed in summer 2026 in the UK.
** All books are sent via DPD with tracking, to ensure safe delivery."
• Presented in a premium, hard-shell slipcase box.
• High-spec coffee table book featuring hundreds of rare, unseen photographs and exclusive commentary.

A Way With Media releases always sell out and they sell fast.
I can tell you the Luxe version is an Unlimited Supply (I bet all you Pistols fans read that and said "E.M.I." in your head, lol) - so if people keep buying then A Way With Media will keep selling.
With the Superluxe being limited to 2000 copies, I expect that to sell quickly, there are no plans to re release this version. When you look at what you get for your money, it truly is a bargain for all you fans. Grab one while you can, dont end up paying stupid prices from Evil Ebay scalpers
