Independent label: The Ex Pistols
were a scam act introduced in 1979 by one-time Sex Pistols producer Dave Goodman
after his services were substituted for those of professional producers. The Ex
Pistols existed as a sound-alike band meant to mislead fans due to the similar
music, name, and artwork, that led people to believe their songs were actually
new or lost Sex Pistols recordings. The Sex Pistols successfully sued Dave
Goodman and Dave Goodman was no longer allowed to use the name. The first Ex
Pistols release "Land of Hope and Glory" was a punk rock version of the old
English classic "Land of Hope and Glory" by Edward Elgar. Not only did it
confuse fans but it also caused legal trouble between Goodman and the publisher
of the original piece, Boosey & Hawkes. Distributed By Pinnacle
Records.
