Kiss This is a compilation album of the Sex Pistols, released in 1992. The disc starts off with the band's four singles released prior to their break-up in early 1978, all included on their lone studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. The disc contains the entirety of that album, along with b-sides to all four singles. The remaining four tracks comprise two from the soundtrack album The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, the 1978 Sid Vicious solo single "My Way," and the 1979 remake of "Silly Thing" featuring only Steve Jones and Paul Cook from the original band.[1][2]
Originally Kiss This was issued with a bonus disc featuring the 21 July 1977 show at Trondheim and a foldout colour poster.[3] The standard edition of Kiss This comprises 20 tracks, but the Australian edition of the album is only 17 tracks long with the songs "I Wanna Be Me", "Don't Give Me No Lip, Child", and "Bodies" excluded from the track listing.
