I bought this on "Glitterbest" bootleg when it first came out for a Pound, I was 13 at the time, as then I still think it is the best thing they ever did, you can hear the difference Glen Matlock made.
br /This is the "Orginal" Sex Pistols and it does not get much better than this.
Pistols at their best! September 1, 2008

If you're after THE album to own as a Classic either of The Pistol's themselves, or Punk music as an era in our rock history, then look no further than this.
br /Down here in what many would regard as 'sleepy old Dorset,' we were as on the ball in 1977 as the rest of the UK with this album. Word went around about the bootleg record stall at Wimborne Market having copies of 'Spunk,' so nipping out from work 5 minutes early one lunch hour on market day to get one was the order of the day.
br /The sleeve notes in the booklet with this 'official' CD release say it was going for a fiver, but the stall-holder at the market sold his for a tenner, and with the buzz going around about it, it was the 'must-have' LP of the day and if he'd asked fifteen you'd have paid it. It was THE vinyl album to own and have as part of your collection, and when you hear it you will understand the reasons why. It blows the NMTBollocks album right out of the water, The Pistols were wired to the effing mains when they recorded these far superior and crunchy versions of the tracks you have come to know and love.
br /Now with 3 extra bonus tracks from the sessions and a slip cover fascimile of the original bootleg LP sleeve, the booklet gives an excellent account of the history behind the making of the tracks, which must see it as one of the few, or maybe THE only Classic Bootleg LP of all time!
br /Every serious rock and / or punk collector needs this one!
Just as important as Nevermind the B******!?! December 30, 2009

This album is one of the most important album of the Sex Pistols. Everything that could have been and this shows what Glen Matlock brought to the band. This is well worth the money to see the Sex Pistols Demo Album titled "Spunk" everything you wanted to know of what they sounded like. Nevermind the B******!?! was a polished album and this shows the raw sound that the band created. Are they as good on the album well i can't really say because it is so different to the final versions which were on the album.
 raw power!! February 27, 2007

forget "never mind" that was an over polished studio production.Listen to the real pistols who don't fire blanks on this record..they have loads of spunk!! I'm grinning like a cheshire cat marvelling at the sound created by mr jones.The music might be 30 years old but that dosn't mean you shouldn't crank it up and have fun[however old you are!]
