They were formed in 1979 by guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook, both formerly of the Sex Pistols. In the previous year, Johnny Rotten had left the Sex Pistols, and both Cook and Jones had sung lead for the late Sex Pistols recordings \"Silly Thing\" and \"Lonely Boy\". For these recordings,Lightning Raiders bassist Andy Allan was employed as a session musician. After the Sex Pistols officially split and broke ties with manager Malcolm McLaren, this line up was resurrected as The Professionals, and signed to the Sex Pistols old label Virgin Records. The Band broke up in 1982. 49-track round up of all studio recordings by The Professionals includes 7 previously unreleased BBC session tracks plus 9 unreleased studio demos, and comes with a 20 page booklet.
