Thanks very much. Really impressive artwork too. Amazing you did it so quickly.
I've got all the Bollock Brothers albums. '77 '78 '79 is really a great fun album. The claim that all the Pistols take part on it is of course false. The photo of the albums cover has been partially doctored to make it look like Billy Idol/Sid Vicious/John Rotten are in the picture. I say partially doctored because Richard Jobson (Skids) / Steve Jones / Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy/The Greedies) are genuine. Jock McDonald had organised a charity football match. Here's the proof.coffeepotman wrote: ↑01 Oct 2017, 11:38amMarky, you're a treasure trove of knowledge! This info is amazing. I too bought all the sketchy 80's releases and thought they were worth it. Wish I still had them. I knew Revolution in the Classroom/Schools are Prisons was a fraud but still liked it, it would have fit on Swindle. I used to think that maybe the Bollocks Brothers 77,78,79 was actually was the Sex Pistols or at least Steve and Paul. This comp is amazing, thank you for putting it together and passing it along. I will be listening to this all day this Sunday.
Thanks mate. I can do that stuff in my sleep.Silent Majority wrote: ↑01 Oct 2017, 12:04pmThanks very much. Really impressive artwork too. Amazing you did it so quickly.
I rember that album well. That was a Jock McDonald job. He released a lot of Pistols stuff on his MBC Records with all the song titles changed.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑01 Oct 2017, 7:53amIt's funny that of all the shoddy Pistols albums I've bought, I've never felt cheated. Maybe it's that they have a permanent exemption from that kind of annoyance because they changed my life or it's all part of the swindle joke. But I've bought so many bullshit compilations with fake outs and never regretted a single one.Marky Dread wrote: ↑01 Oct 2017, 7:03amI bought that the instant it was released but I knew just like the "Land of Hope and Glory" single it wasn't John singing however I was hoping it contained the other band members. Yep it seems like Steve/Paul/Glen didn't really give a fuck about John at this point at least until they Steve/Paul took his side in the court case and I bet that was purely financial.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑01 Oct 2017, 6:26amWow, thanks for all that, M. While I knew the Ex-Pistols was Dave Goodman hijinx, I thought Steve and Paul were willing participants in it all (I guess I assumed that "Justifiable Homicide" meant that they were involved in all those recordings). What a hilarious, twisted bunch of nonsense. I was 17 or 18 when We Have Cum For Your Children came out and my jaw dropped when I saw this super rare mystery song was on it—"Revolution in the Classroom"—and paid the import price without a second thought. They knew their market was dumb kids like me.
edit: Like this one:
Back in high school I also had a shirt with this sleeve. Totally dug it, wore it until it was rags. If I had a high-quality scan of that album, maybe I could have a print-on-demand shirt made, but otherwise I know I'll never find it again.
I was young and naive enough to believe that most of those were actually different songs. Would I be so cynical now if I hadn't been such a trusting sucker then?Marky Dread wrote: ↑01 Oct 2017, 12:38pmI rember that album well. That was a Jock McDonald job.

I'm pretty sure that's Jock McDonald. Have you got this?coffeepotman wrote: ↑01 Oct 2017, 12:47pmMarky, do you know who sings Satellite on the Bollock Brothers 77,78,79? for years I thought it was John
Yes it's the full album put through a fairlight computer. Imagine New Order playing the bollocks album and you'll not be far off.. I can upload if you like.coffeepotman wrote: ↑01 Oct 2017, 3:02pmNaw don't have that one, is it all covers? Wouldn't mind hearing it. 77'78'79 is a fun listen, always liked it, still listen to it.
Also is that 10th anniversary album any good?
You know what it's not a million miles away from Cut the Crap. At least the BB's were tongue in cheek.coffeepotman wrote: ↑02 Oct 2017, 9:08amHmmm...New Order playing the Bollocks album, might be interesting, I mean I do like the Opium Jukebox version of NMTB.
A pleasure mate.coffeepotman wrote: ↑02 Oct 2017, 11:50amWow! Thanks Marky, this will take a while to digest as I'm still digging on your Ex-Pistols compilation.
Big thanks for all you have done and are doing, you're a true star
