Sid Vicious left a very small recorded legacy, and it's easy to see why. These are live recordings with terrible sound quality and equally bad vocals from Vicious, who is prone to stealing Johnny Rotten's vocal mannerisms. The only track he had a hand in is the Pistols' collaboration "Belsen"; the other nine songs are covers (including a hilarious rearrangement of "My Way"). This album shows Sid Vicious as a follower, not an innovator. He had no originality or intelligence and displayed an astounding lack of talent, augmented by total contempt for his audience. But given punk's ideology, it may make perfect sense that he should become its most celebrated icon. If you follow the logic, Sid Sings is absolutely essential; if not, don't bother. ~ Steve Huey
1989 collection on Virgin Records featuring his soloversion of the Sex Pistols' 'Belsen' and covers of 10 othercuts, including Iggy & the Stooges' 'Search And Destroy' &'I Wanna Be Your Dog', plus Boyce & Hart's 'Stepping Stone'and more!
A Live Karoke Studio recording? This poorly recorded so-called studio album features Sid burping his way through some classic tunes. It's a shame that this is considered a studio recording because it oviously isn't. The sound quality is so poor, that understanding Sid's vocals is impossible.

Didn't know it was live Not in to live recording from any band, I was disappointed. Good to have if your a hardcore fan, but musically it lags. Submitted by gilbert.beltran (L.A.) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Snapshot of Sid This album is great. A definite buy for fans of Sid/Sex pistols.
The sound is raw as Bill described, but thats how it was supposed to be.
Punk at its greatest.
