The Sex Pistols were signed by A&M after being dumped by EMI, but were dumped by them less than a week later for a variety of reasons. Most of the copies of God Save the Queen were scrapped before release.

Agree that the writer's bonafides are suspect. He doesn't give any source for much of his info; says that mono records were on their way out in 1962 (stereo was up-and-coming, but there were plenty of mono discs put out almost till the end of the decade); and reports that Dylan pulled the original Freewheelin' because some of the songs were "old-fashioned." IIRC, CBS lawyers insisted that Talking John Birch Paranoid Blues be removed from the record, so Dylan recorded a handful of new tracks to replace it and a couple of others.
