Some interesting recordings have been turning up on the web recently.
First, more 7" vinyl from Greece.
The latest claims to be from Westfield College, London, 21st November 1975!
Don't Give Me No Lip Child / New York. Limited to 100 copies.
Is it what it says it is? I've no idea but it seems unlikely a recording was made so early in the band's career. If it had, why would it end up in the hands of a bootlegger in Greece 40 years later? Is someone brave enough to splash out? Not me!
Of more interest are the Unreleased NMTB & Swindle Mixes.
These appear to have surfaced earlier this year and are now apparently making the rounds via the murkier corners of the internet. The mixes are said by those who have heard them to be different to all those currently/previously available.
The 18 mixes are as follows:
Anarchy In The UK (Rejected Wessex Overdubs) / Belsen Vossa Gassa (Backing Vocal Live Mix) / The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle (Guitar & BV Take) / C'mon Everybody (Guitar Overdub mix) / Something Else (Guitar Overdub Mix) / Friggin' In The Riggin' (Guitar Mix) / Rock Around The Clock (Piano Mix) / EMI (Wessex Studio) / No One Is Innocent (Backing Vox Mix) / Submission (Wessex Studio) / Holidays In The Sun (Wessex Studio) / My Way (Steve Jones Mix) / Lonely Boy (Overdub Mix) / Body (Wessex Studio) / No Feelings (Wessex Studio) / Substitute (overdub Mix) / No Lip (Overdub Mix) / Stepping Stone (Overdub Mix). [thanks Matt & Glyn for info]

Press: "
The International Swingers; Clem Burke, James Stevenson, Gary Twinn and Glen Matlock are better known to many as members of Blondie, Sex Pistols, The Cult and Twenty Flight Rockers, but that's about to change when, this summer, TV viewers worldwide will see this group of veteran punk rockers get together to record the debut Swingers single at The Foo Fighters' Studio 606 using the Neve console famously used by Tom Petty, Nirvana, Fleetwood Mac and Paul McCartney to name a few. With legendary Brett Geruwitz of Bad Religion in the producer's chair this will be compelling viewing for all rock fans. The tv show takes place over a 48 hour period in which the band is challenged to record 2 songs from start to finish, ready to release, on a vinyl 45 single, just like they did it in the old days of the Beatles, Stones and even Blondie.
The Redballs show will be filmed for TV so be early and ready too whoop and holler so you can see yourself on Esquire Network this summer!"

How the Sex Pistols saved Christmas. "For the families of the striking fire fighters, Christmas 1977 was going to be a difficult one. With little or no money coming in, celebrations, presents, and even food were on ration. But something quite wonderful happened on that Christmas Day in Merrie England, when four of the country’s allegedly most reviled people brought happiness and festive gifts to the firefighters and their families.
This was Christmas Day 1977, when The Sex Pistols played a benefit gig for the families of striking fire fighters at the Ivanhoe’s club, Huddersfield, in the north of England.

John Lydon Interview in Daily Record.This has now been much quoted due to John talking about Mick Jagger coming to Sid Vicious' aid following his arrest for the muder of Nancy Spungen: "“The only good news is that I heard Mick Jagger got in there and brought lawyers into it on Sid’s behalf because I don’t think Malcolm lifted a finger. He just didn’t know what to do. For that, I have a good liking of Mick Jagger.
“There was activity behind the scenes from Mick Jagger so I applaud him. He never used it to advance himself publicity-wise.”

| Asked by Rolling Stone “how it feels to be hailed as an icon”, Lydon replied, “Fantastic. When you’re offered these things, you have to be sensible and see them as somewhat of a challenge. I’ve always got the thing in mind of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – that was something that I bitterly detested and rejected. This is slightly more serious, and it’s very interesting that it’s the British music industry saying, “Well done, John.” I think I’ve done a lot for this country, so it’s quite nice for that to be noted.” http://blurtonline.com |

Manraze, the Sex Pistols, Def Leppard, and Girl supergroup, have announced that they will be releasing a new EP, entitled "I Surrender," on November 12th. The group, which features Paul Cook, Def Leppard's Phil Collen, and Girl's Simon Laffy, are giving fans an advanced listen to the three-song EP's title track here. (Note: You need to log-in to Soundcloud).
Collen offered this background information about the track, "The song is eight years old. It practically never got finished. I was on tour last year and started singing the chorus.
"Early this year, I re-did the guitars to Paul's original demo drums. I did a vocal and Simon played new bass-lines. Ger McDonnell then did a brilliant edit and mix on what we gave him. Debbi Blackwell-Cook supplied the wailing outro-vocals that you hear at the end of the song. We feel this is our best song yet."
The other two tracks on the EP include a live studio recording of a song called "Connected - Live from Shepherd's Bush", and a new version of the song "All I Wanna Do."

"Hello,
I'm writing to inform you of a really interesting opportunity to get a piece of Sex Pistols history.
My brother and I are currently working on funding a webseries called EDIT using the platform Kickstarter.
One of the artists that we're working with, David King, has donated a piece of his to help us raise money - it's a beautiful picture that he took of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen.
Here's the story behind it: David:
I took the photograph in 1978 at the end of filming of an interview for a documentary on the punk scene. Within weeks, Nancy Spungen was dead – stabbed in the bathroom of a New York hotel, and Sid Vicious jailed for her murder. Weeks later he, too, would be dead from an overdose of heroin. The photograph first appeared in a Rolling Stone magazine news story about the murder dated 30th November 1978, and has been in the my personal collection – unseen and unpublished – ever since.'
Mixed media screen print on Somerset Satin 300g/m2 archival paper
56 x 76cm.
It's available to the first person who pledges £1,000 to our project. If you're interested in it, please do get in touch. I'd really appreciate it if you post it on your page. We've only got until Friday 4th Oct before the campaign ends, so please get the word out ASAP!
If you have any questions, please do get in touch. Here's the link to the website:

“So, once I became famous, I tried to get a spot on it. I wanted to play David Hunter’s illegitimate son, which would have been one of the worst things ever.
“After Meg and Sandy Richardson – the first disabled character in a TV soap – having me in there as well would have been a right whack-attack.
“I put the feelers out to try to get into it. And, guess what, I got a negative response." www.birminghammail.co.uk/ [thanks Bobe]
