A gift from Dave Sez, two classic bootlegs of the Pistols with alternate recording versions of the songs from the Bollocks album. Spunk is in Flac, Party Til You Puke is in MP3.
Sex Pistols - SPUNK - ORIGINAL VINYL EDITION (1977)
Info from Dave Sez:
The original 1977 Spunk LP of the Sex Pistols' sessions with producer Dave Goodman was "released" just before the Virgin LP "Bollocks" and, by all accounts, outsold the official album whilst available - the fans preferred the raw Dave Goodman four-tracks to the overcooked Chris Thomas overdubs on Bollocks. The Chris Thomas overdub and re-recording sessions at Wessex Studios in May-August 1977 would later surface on the 1989 CD bootleg "Party Till You Puke". The tracklist of the original Spunk LP was:
01. Seventeen
02. Satellite
03. No Feelings
04. I Wanna Be Me
05. Submission (bubbles version)
Denmark St., July 1976
06. Anarchy in the UK 2 ("follow me!" aka Pied Piper version)
Wessex Studios, October 1976 (two days after signature to EMI)
07. God Save the Queen
08. Problems
09. Pretty Vacant
10. Liar
11. EMI (no "A&M")
12. New York
Gooseberry Studios, January 1977 (two days after severance from EMI)
The original vinyl edition gave no indication of the group and carried labels from Blank Records (catalogue number BLA 169-A/B); it was pressed by the well-known pressing plant Lyntone with matrix numbers LYN 4732-111 and LYN 4733-111.
The Dave Goodman versions of I Wanna Be Me, No Feelings and No Fun were the versions used as B-sides on the respective EMI, A&M and Virgin singles.
A 1978 expanded vinyl bootleg version called "No, Future, UK?" (labels identical to "Spunk", matrix numbers GO-001-A/002-B) had tracks 01-12 but also included two more tracks from the Denmark St sessions, both rather weak: Anarchy in the UK 1 ( "... now"), and the earliest Dave Goodman version of Pretty Vacant, later released on the official 2002 3-CD SEXBOX compilation. A final bonus track was "No Fun" from Wessex Studios in October 1976, also on the SEXBOX.
An alternative version of "No Future UK?" called "Indecent Exposure" added a sixteenth track Substitute from the October 1976 Wessex Studios sessions, also on the SEXBOX.
A long-running copyright dispute between Goodman, the Pistols and Malcolm McLaren's Glitterbest delayed an official release of Spunk until 1996 when Virgin produced the limited-edition SPUNK 1 double CD of Never Mind The Bollocks, backed by Spunk, some of the Chris Thomas Bollocks outtakes and the rarest of early Pistols recordings, the 3 demo tracks recorded in May 1976 with Chris Spedding as producer which had previously only seen the light of day as an extremely rare bootleg single "And We Don't Care" on Rotten Boys Records.
Party Till You Puke with the Sex Pistols
TNT Enterprises, TTE 005 LP/CD, Berlin/Luxembourg, 1989
Bollocks sessions at Wessex Studios with Chris Thomas in May-August 1977, reworking Dave Goodman's Jan 1977 Gooseberry recordings (marked DG/CT), and re-recording tracks (marked CT) only previously recorded by Goodman in July 1976 in Denmark St. The Denmark St and Gooseberry Goodman sessions had been released on the 1977-78 vinyl bootlegs "Spunk", "No Future UK?" and "Indecent Exposure".
For the Thomas sessions, as Matlock had left in February 1977, Steve Jones handles both guitar and bass on all tracks apart from the two versions of Submission and the new track Bodies, where the bass is played by Vicious.
