Sex Pistols - Flogging a dead horse (1980)

(ya que Andy me dijo que puedo robar esta tapa ahí va)

Flogging a Dead Horse is a compilation album of singles by the Sex Pistols, released after their break-up, and includes the four songs that were issued as singles A-sides from Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols with three of their B-sides, as well as the six A-sides that were issued off the Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle and one B-side, My Way.

By the time the record was released, the group was finished as a musical unit; The Sex Pistols consisted only of manager Malcolm McLaren and designer Jamie Reid. Their relationship with Virgin records was difficult, and Reid's tacky sleeve design was intended to warn people against another cash-in; it was largely interpreted as a hip joke, and seems to have hurt sales very little.

Reid's first sleeve design consisted of the title hastily scrawled across his designs for the Never Mind the Bollocks and Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle albums. It was printed, and copies exist, but was rejected by Virgin and never made it to record stores. For its replacement, Reid used a photo of a model from the cheapest agency he could find, along with dull letraset lettering, making the record look like a cheap easy listening album.
