Two weeks before the long-awaited debut album by The Sex Pistols, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols, was released in Britain, a bootleg appeared in numerous record shops entitled Spunk, which was quite obviously something very similar to the forthcoming album. Containing raw versions the group's first three hit singles, 'Anarchy In The UK' (re-titled 'Nookie'), 'God Save The Queen' ('No Future') and 'Pretty Vacant' ('Lots Of Fun'), it also included six other versions from the official album (although not the group's fourth hit single, 'Holidays In The Sun').No-one has ever put their hand up to the source of this material although the finger of suspicion points firmly at the Glitterbest camp.
