5.0 out of 5 stars Complete your demo collection of the Pistols, March 26, 2006

This review is from: Never Mind The Bollocks (Audio CD)

Not much needs to be said about NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS, but the second disc is a necessary purchase even if you bought the SEX PISTOLS BOX, which is full of demos (but not all of them). There was not enough time to fit everything on that, so some tracks were cut from it. This 2CD set was issued first. The following track list was found after researching on the web. This info is not on the set (actually almost no info is on the set).

1. Seventeen *
2. Satellite *
3. No Feelings *
4. I Wanna Be Me *
5. Submission

6. Anarchy in the UK

*Not on SEX PISTOLS BOX

One thing nice about this edition is that it has the original import color combo, yellow and pink, instead of the later issue released in the US, green and pink. The song list of the CD corresponds to the song titles of the original SPUNK bootleg LP.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Defense Rests..., October 16, 2003

By 

Greekfreak (Pusan Korea (South)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Never Mind The Bollocks (Audio CD)

I agree with the previous reviewer, but have to add a little historical background so you understand where the appeal possibly comes from. Because who doesn't already own "Bollocks?"

Prior to (and even after) the release of their one and only proper album, "Spunk" was one of the most highly sought after bootlegs on the market; most of the tunes were performed either live, or else underproduced, with Chris Spedding doing some of the guitar tracks (while the Pistols were trying to find a label that would take them).

After the fact, "Spunk" has some interesting tid-bits, but nothing you couldn't already find on a plethora of subsequent boots ("Flogging A Dead Horse", "Some Product", "The Swindle Continues", etc.).

A decent value, but not the essential work some would have you believe.

5.0 out of 5 stars WELL WORTH THE MONEY IF YOU LOVE THE PISTOLS, October 3, 2004

This review is from: Never Mind The Bollocks (Audio CD)

This British version of Bollocks has a much clearer mix than the US version! That in itself is worth it since it's one of the greatest albums of all times. SPUNK is '77 demos and the Chris Spedding demos sounding their best. OK, I bought it for about 5 bucks less - if you don't want to pay full price, it's well worth searching for at a lower price; or check back here for a possible future discount.
