French brand État Libre D'Orange announced a collaboration with the Sex Pistols to launch the band's first perfume, intended to capture the scent of the punk era.
The Sex Pistols signed with EMI Records for £40,000 (about $68,000). Three months later EMI terminated the contract, stopped production of "Anarchy in the U.K." and deleted it from its catalogue, saying the volume of adverse publicity surrounding the band made it impossible to promote their records.
