Sid Sings is the title of punk rocker Sid Vicious's posthumous solo album. It was released on December 15, 1979 and peaked at number 30 on the British album charts.
The album features the two singles, "My Way", and "Something Else". These songs also appeared in the film and album The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle along with "C'mon Everybody", which did not appear on this album.
The album is thin on liner notes; there are no musicians' credits or recording info, and the production credit goes to "The Engineer"; John "Boogie" Tiberi.
The bulk of the album comes from low-fi recordings of performances at Max's Kansas City in New York City, on September 28-29, 1978. These recordings are somewhat marred by an enthusiastic fan standing slightly too near the cassette player shouting "yeah, yeah, yeah".
The Johnny Thunders song "Born to Lose" reportedly comes from a Sex Pistols concert at Huddersfield, on December 25, 1977[1]. During the childrens matinee performed during the day, Rotten stepped off stage to act as Father Christmas[2], while the remaining trio played a stymied set, including amongst other songs "Born to Lose" and "Chinese Rocks".
Despite having an audio fidelity not much better than the rest of the album, "My Way" comes from a studio session in Paris with French session musicians[3]. The remixed version that was released as a single and on The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle features a different vocal take, an overdubbed guitar solo from Steve Jones and strings, arranged by Simon Jeffes.
Mick Jones from The Clash was long rumoured to play on the album. His two sets with Vicious have never been officially released, however.
The album was not designed by Jamie Reid, the Sex Pistols' art designer, but he created the guitar swastika that appeared on the labels of the original UK pressings (though the German pressing had a blank spot instead due to the swastika's illegality in that country).
