SEX PISTOLS
LP
Spunk !
PINK VINYL
500 MADE !
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.
