Ex Pistols: Land of Hope & Glory (1984) FIXED



Roberto's Rarities:
An
irregular MRML series powered by the wild generosity of our reader, Roberto: Enjoy and don't forget to leave our benefactor a thank-you comment.

Dave Goodman's legacy is inextricably linked to The Sex Pistols, a fact John Lydon always resented and Goodman exploited relentlessly for the remainder of his days. Those attitudes may explain why Lydon tried have this record, on which Goodman did everything possible to resemble a Sex Pistols release (even including Glen Matlock somewhere along the line) banned.



Still a pretty fun single and almost as authentic as anything on the Great Rock n' Roll Swindle. (For even more on that curiously fraudulent era of the Sex Pistols see this site).




Reactions to Goodman's Swindle are strongly encouraged and can be left in the COMMENTS section (where the link for Land of Hope & Glory can be found).

Update: The full single is now available - please see the fourth comment for link.

    Thanks for adding a comment and sorry about the mix-up - I might not have fixed it with the lack of comments - but for you (and John) I'll do it:

  6. I love Paul Matlock's writing. I will never understand how the Sex Pistols could choose Sid Vicious over him.....

    Ghosts of Princes In Towers is one of my favorite 70's punk songs.


    I can't wait to hear this.

  8. ...um, you will have to forgive me but that comment was written after working 12 hours teaching 5th graders. My brain tends to be a little fried by the end of the day.

    I also like Sid Rotten as well....as well as Joe Jones, and Mick Strummer.
