Track Listings:
Disc 1 - 100 Club 24/9/76
This is Burton-on-Trent, not 100 Club. It's a transfer of an LP which was wrongly labelled as
100 Club. I compared this to the indecent Exposure CD from the box set of the same name,
which is also a recording of this gig. Indecent Exposure sounds better but runs too slow.
This new disc runs at the correct speed but is over processed and thin sounding.

Disc 2 - Spunk (Original)
This seems a straight transfer of The Amazing Kornyfone TAKRL 929 pressing
of Spunk, with a radio advert for NMTB tacked on the start. The pitch is correct
and the banter is present; obviously it doesn't sound as full as the official 2006
Spunk release on Sanctuary Records but that runs too slow.

Disc 3 - Dave Goodman Demos 77
This is a straight transfer of the LP Live Worldwide, so PiL's Tube 1983 appearance
makes an appearance along with Goodman's butchered/remixed versions of the Spunk
sessions and clips from Lydon's appearance on Jukebox Jury in 1979. It seems to be
copied from the CD version rather than vinyl, luckily.

Disc 4 - Goodman's Demos + Sid From Max's / Screen On The Green 3/77
First half is a transfer of Last Show On Earth/Drugs Kill LP, which is/was garbage. It was
released by Jock McDonald and copied from Spunk/Sid Sings/Some Product/Swindle with
some crowd noise from the bootleg Vicious Burger! The second half is much better:
Screen On The Green 1977 - the quality is very good,

Disc 6 - Ivanhoe's, Huddersfield 25/12/77
This is not what it says it is. It's a straight transfer of the unofficial
LP God Save The Sex Pistols, which was always a nice compilation.

Disc 9 - Nashville 3/4/76
More complete than the version on bootleg CD Savage Young Pistols.
It runs at correct speed so it's actually listenable! I'm very glad to have this.

Disc 10 - 100 Club 20/9/76
This is actually 31/8/76 100 Club NOT 20/9/76 as claimed.
However, it's good to have this gig on CD.

Disc 12 - Electric Circus 9/76
Manchester 9th Dec 1976. This is the LP source, not the Never Mind The Bans CD source.
It has extra crowd noise at the start and is speed correct, but is missing the track Problems.

Disc 13 - Randy's Rodeo 8/1/78
Runs too fast but it's listenable. Recorded at Randys Rodeo, San Antonio
on the 8th Jan 1978. This is the complete gig.

rearranged and labelled as San Antonio.

Disc 15 - Happy House, Sweden 77 / Moganbo Disco 9/77
The first half of this CD is redundant; it's a sped up version of 28/7/77 Stockholm
lifted from the bootleg LP Scandinavian Tour 77 (SOYA 4395518). However, the second
half is a good recording of Mogambo Disco, Helsingborg, Sweden, 16th July 1977.
