Idea di Malcolm McLaren, idea di Malcolm McLaren, fanculo Malcolm McLaren; o forse no?
Pochi giorni prima della rivoluzione che tagliò la storia in due, uscì in alcuni negozi londinesi questo strano "bootleg" dalla copertina bianca.
Ebbene, il fantomatico e alternativo debutto dei Sex Pistols.
Spunk conteneva i primi mix diretti da Goodman dei celebri brani che andarono successivamente a formare la tracklist di Nevermind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols.
Hanno ancora i nomi provvisori e non sono state battezzate (esempio, Anarchy In The UK é Nookie).
Ma ciò che rende questa rarità speciale é il suono corposo e quasi palpabile del basso di Glen Matlock. Prima che egli abbandonasse la carovana per dissidi interni, mise il suo contributo.
In Nevermind le parti di basso vennero infatti suonate da Steve Jones.
Molti affermano che in realtà si trattasse di una trovata commerciale del manager e non di una raccolta di demo, proprio per la qualità dei brani reputata troppo alta.
Negli anni a venire questo Spunk venne pubblicato ed ampliato più volte, fino a quando inclusero nel lotto la vera motivazione per cui -se amate la band- doveste ascoltarlo.
Un'enorme, piena, totalmente fuori controllo interpretazione di No Fun degli Stooges da accapponare la pelle.
Mai i Pistols suonarono così abrasivi.
Si tratta di una registrazione risalente al 1976 (recita il retro della copertina).
Quei vocalizzi li riconosceresti tra quelli di mille matti che urlano all'unisono.
No Fun chiuse anche la carriera del gruppo, tra un Winterland Ballroom di San Francisco in delirio ed un Lydon disilluso, stanco, annoiato.
La fine dei Sex Pistols si realizzò nella sua mente proprio durante questa esibizione.
"Questa é l'ultima canzone, proprio l'ultima, perché sono un pigro bastardo"
Nonostante i problemi di salute, quel giorno diede tutto se stesso e tutta la sua frustrazione sembrò uscire fuori e rientrare continuamente. Al termine disse al microfono:
"Avete mai avuto la sensazione di essere stati presi in giro?"
No Fun, appunto; nessun divertimento ad avere Sid al fianco strafatto, ad essere preso per marionetta, a far fare soldi agli sciacalli dietro.
The King is gone but he's not forgotten.

01 Seventeen (02:10)
You're only 29
Got a lot to learn
But when your mummy dies
She will not return
We like noise it's our choice
It's what we wanna do
We don't care about long hair
I don't wear flares
See my face not a trace
No reality
I don't work I just speed
That's all I need
I'm a lazy sod, I'm lazy sod
I'm a lazy sod I'm so lazy
I'm a lazy sod I'm lazy sod
I'm a lazy sod I'm so lazy
I can't even be bothered
Lazy Lazy

acting like a dirty lavatory
there ain't no bid for your chastity
hey baby
i love you
i love you
i love you
i'm in love

you're looking like a big fat baked bean
how did you figure that you'd be any use
when all you're gonna get is my abuse
hey babe
i love you

05 Submission (04:17)
I'm on a submarine mission for you baby

I picked you up on my tv screen
I feel your undercurrent flowing
Submission going down down
Dragging me down submission

You've got me pretty deep baby
I can't figure out your watery love
I gotta solve your mystery
Your sitting it out in heaven above
Submission going down down
Dragging me down submission
I can't tell you what I've found
For there's a mystery
Under the sea under a water
Come share it
Submission going down down
Dragging me down submission
I can't tell ya what I've found
'Cos it's a secret
Under the water under the sea
Octopus Rock

Your sitting it out in heaven above

Dragging me down submission
I can't tell ya what I've found

08 Problems (04:21)
Too many problems oh why I am here
I don't need to be me cos you're all to clear
well and I can see there's something wrong with you
but what do you expect me to do ?
At least I gotta know what I wanna be
don't come to me if you need pity
Are you lonely you got no one
you get your body in suspension that's no
Problem Problems the problem is you
Eat your heart out on a plastic tray
you don't do what you want then you'll fade away
you won't find me working nine to five
it's too much fun a BEING ALIVE
I'm using my feet for my human machine
you won't find me living for the screen
are you lonely all needs catered
you got your brains dehydrated
In a death trip I ain't automatic
you won't find me just staying static
don't you give me any orders
for people like me there is no order
bet you thought you had it all worked out
bet you thought you knew what I was about
bet you thought you solved all your problems
but you are the problem
Problem the problem is YOU
what you gonna do with you
what you gonna do
I'll leave it to you
the problem is you
oh what you gonna do
they know a doctor gonna take you away
they take you away and throw away the key
they don't want you and they don't want me
you got a problem the problem is you
Problem what you gonna do ?
