![]() | Sex Pistols Bootleg - 06. Nookie (Anarchy In The U.K) From the alternate debut album, spunk Spunk is the title of a bootleg album by Sex Pistols, originally released in the UK during September or October 1977 (see 1977 in music). The album comprises studio demos and chatter recorded with Dave Goodman during 1976 and early 1977, while original bass player Glen Matlock was still a member of the group. Most of the songs would later be re-recorded and officially released on the group's debut album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. [edit] The alternative debut album Several parties, including some members of the British music press, immediately suspected that the group's manager, Malcolm McLaren, was responsible for the original Spunk bootleg. This would have been in breach of the band's record contract with Virgin, which was itself planning the release of Never Mind the Bollocks when Spunk appeared. An October 1977 Sounds article by Chas de Whalley discussed Spunk and made reference to this conveniently coincidental timing.[1] The evidence for McLaren's involvement is speculative, although it can be noted that his company, Glitterbest, retained the rights to the demo recordings as well as the master tapes — and the demos appearing on Spunk were presented in excellent quality. Also, as evidenced by the original album's "LYN-" matrix number prefix, the record had clearly been pressed in the UK by Lintone, a legitimate independent pressing plant that would presumably not handle anything that appeared to be a bootleg, and would certainly allow the bootlegger in question to be traced if enquiries had ever been made by the genuine copyright owner. McLaren has always publicly denied responsibility for Spunk, but has stated that he prefers the record to Never Mind the Bollocks.[2] Some Sex Pistols fans concur with McLaren[2] -- and producer Goodman[3] -- that the raw versions of the songs on Spunk are superior to the officially released ones, particularly since Spunk approximates a faithful reproduction of the original Sex Pistols line-up's live sound. The album also features the bass-lines of Glen Matlock, which were not reproduced when guitarist Steve Jones took over bass duties for the recording of Never Mind the Bollocks.[4] Spunk is therefore often cited as the Sex Pistols' de facto alternative debut album. Certainly a tape of part or all of Spunk had been played to Tony Parsons as early as March 1977, and became the subject of his NME article, "Blank Nuggets in the UK", which described the recordings as if they represented an imminent debut album release.[5] [edit] Reissues The original Spunk was itself copied and bootlegged immediately upon release. The tracks have since been re-bootlegged countless times in many different formats, including a widespread variant called No Future UK?, which added three extra tracks, and many releases by Dave Goodman, which often feature evidence of remixing or other post-production tampering.[2] Spunk has also been the subject of several official releases. Virgin Records released the whole of Spunk (omitting the talking between songs) along with several other early Sex Pistols demos as part of a limited edition double-CD reissue of Never Mind the Bollocks in 1996. Spunk was released on 17 July 2006 by Sanctuary Records in its original vinyl format (CMQLP1395, limited to 1,000 copies), complete with studio chatter. The CD version (CMRCD1376) included the three bonus tracks from the original No Future UK? bootleg. |

You can really hear Matlock's great bass runs. A very different style to what people generally consider the Sex Pistols to have. |
![]() | Buzzcocks - 03. Boredom (First take guitar dub) Spiral Scratch was a four-track EP by the punk band Buzzcocks, recorded in 1976 and released in January 1977. It was the first punk record to be self-released (that is, without the support of a record label), and only the third ever by a British punk band. When reissued in 1979, it reached number 31 in the UK Singles Chart. Buzzcocks recorded the tracks on 28 December 1976 at Indigo Sound, Manchester on 16-track tape. According to Devoto, "It took three hours [to record the tracks], with another two for mixing."[1] Produced by Martin Hannett (credited as Martin Zero), the music was roughly recorded, insistently repetitive, and energetic. The band, having no record label support, had to borrow £500 from their friends and families to pay for the record's production and manufacture.[2] The EP was released 29 January 1977 on the band's own New Hormones label, making Buzzcocks the first English Punk group to establish an independent record label. Despite this, the disc quickly sold out its initial run of 1,000 copies, and went on to sell 16,000 copies, initially by mail order, but also with the help of the Manchester branch of music chain store Virgin, whose manager took some copies and persuaded other regional branch managers to follow suit. |
![]() | Holidays In The Sun - Sex Pistols "Holidays in the Sun" was the fourth single by the British punk rock band Sex Pistols. It was released on October 14, 1977, and proved to be the last single from the group as a whole for 30 years (Steve Jones and Paul Cook would record one more single, "No One Is Innocent" with Ronnie Biggs as the band imploded, and Vicious would record solo covers of "My Way" and "Somethin' Else" under the Pistols name. The Pistols would not record another single until 2007, when the original lineup recorded covers of "Anarchy in the UK" and "Pretty Vacant" for two video games). The song was inspired by a trip to the Channel Island of Jersey, "We tried our Holiday In The Sun in the isle of Jersey and that didn't work. They threw us out", followed by a couple of weeks spent in Berlin. Although they described the city as "raining and depressing", they were relieved to get away from London. Says John Lydon, "Being in London at the time made us feel like we were trapped in a prison camp environment. There was hatred and constant threat of violence. The best thing we could do was to go set up in a prison camp somewhere else. Berlin and its decadence was a good idea. The song came about from that. I loved Berlin. I loved the wall and the insanity of the place. The communists looked in on the circus atmosphere of West Berlin, which never went to sleep, and that would be their impression of the West." "Holidays In the Sun" was later featured as the opening track on the group's debut album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. The single's B-side was "Satellite", a song about the band's early performances in "satellite towns". The Sex Pistols had enjoyed playing away from the capital, because they were the only occasions on which they could play away from their manager, Malcolm McLaren, and his group of associates. The song's main hook, a simple descending figure, bears a resemblance to the bassline of The Jam's "In the City", which was released a few months previously in April 1977. The two groups did play at least one show together (at Queensway Hall in Dunstable on October 21, 1976), at which point The Jam had already been in the studio to record demos of "In the City". Bruce Foxton, bass player for The Jam and later the Stiff Little Fingers alleged in a 1994 book that the riff had indeed been stolen from this song.[1] By one account, Sid Vicious and Foxton got in a fight over this, with Foxton the clear victor. |
