Sex Pistols - SPUNK - Blank BLA169. Never Mind The Bollocks Demos Bootleg
Vinyl is VG (marks but plays fine) sleeve and inner are plain
Here's all the details on this piece of Punk Rock history
This is the initial pressing of SPUNK. Due to rush release to beat NMTB in the shops in the U.K., this release came out just in a plain white sleeve. Labels are matt purple/white printings and matrix number as mentioned down under. The inner sleeve is the same used as for NMTB a few days later! Now you can easily spot if you have the initial copy. To avoid endless discussions about this submission being double, triple or what else: This IS the first release as it hit the shops in early October 1977! All others have followed after this one in countless variations, as bootleg, semi offical and also nowadays as an official release!
Have also added a picture of the sleeve details, everyone who has the orignal NMTB-release will see, that there are the same printings on both inner sleeves!
This is the infamous Spunk bootleg released just before the Never Mind The Bollocks LP, "initially released without a sleeve in a rush to beat 'Never Mind The Bollocks' to the shops." (Gavin Walsh: "God Save The Sex Pistols - A Collector's Guide To The Priests Of Punk", Plexus 2003, page 102)
Reviewed in SOUNDS (22/10/1977) and ZIGZAG #78 (11/1977).
A1-5 are demos recorded by Dave Goodman in July 1976
A6 is the rejected Dave Goodman produced version of the band's debut single Anarchy In The U.K., recorded in October 1976
B1-6 are demos recorded by Dave Goodman in January 1977
Most songs are mistitled on sleeve and labels:
A2 as "Satelite"
A3 as "Feelings"
A4 as "Just Me"
A6 as "Nookie"
B1 as "No Future" (which was the original title at the time of recording)
B3 as "Lots Of Fun"
B5 as "Who Was It"
B6 as "New York (Looking For A Kiss)"
Original copies can be identified by the matrix numbers engraved in the runout.
Be aware that some people are reporting that original first pressings actually have the 'A' side matrix LYN 4732-14, rather than LYN 4732-111, however upon very close high magnification inspection of some of those pressings that seem to show 14 rather than 111, the number 14 is in fact the number 111. The number 111 just appears to look like a number 14 due to the way it is etched.
