SEX PISTOLS

LP

Spunk !

SEALED!

Official release of the original demo version of NMTB.

Several parties, including some journalists in the

British music press, immediately suspected that the

band'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 readying 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.  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.

Some Sex Pistols fans concur with McLaren  – and

 producer Goodman – 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.

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.
