I have an old LP.. ..on Virgin. I state that because my roommate had it on some other label & the songs were in a different order. And on mine, the order listed on the jacket does not match what's listed on the vinyl, does not match the actual track order. So was that all mistakes and/or re-licensing or is that part of the swindle?

The double album had two editions:

first one had "Watcha gonna do about it" and an instrmental "God save the queen" orchestra
Second one (the normal one) missed those but added other tracks and had malcolm talking over the "GSTQ" orchestra.

I think it was general confusion... the labels are correct along with the insert for the second one (the sleeve is wrong). The first one sleeve is different again...

Urg.

I just listened to it. Actually, it sounds like the engineer/producer is saying, "They want to play "Johnny B Goode" while you sing "Through My Eyes."

They aren't direct quotes, I admit.

The tragedy here is shurely the Pistols having to play "Johnny B Goode" at all.

Well, as I say, it was Steve and Paul's idea.

"Roadrunner, roadrunner! Da-da-da-da-da-da-daaaa .... With the RADIO ON!"

Jazzbo, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 15:23 (fifteen years ago) link

If you have the "Filth and the Fury" soundtrack CD, you will have "Roadrunner" without the Johnny B good 'first part'..

So, the track starts suddenly, with the line "Durrr Durr Durr durrrrrr............................. (I don't know the whurdshahah)"

In spite of appearances to the contrary it's not been entirely in vain after all.

Tommy McTommy (Tom D.), Friday, 1 August 2014 11:53 (nine years ago) link
