HOT WAX - SEX PISTOLS - NO FUN

Image
  Le sujet a déjà été abordé sur ce blog, mais il nous semble intéressant  de revenir en   détail  sur l'histoire de cet album car  c'est le premier bootleg des Sex Pistols . I l est sorti au cours de l'été 77, probablement en août, et contient une partie du concert   du 4 juin 1976  au Lesser Free Trade Hall de Manchester.  Son titre, No Fun , est en réalité  The Good Time Music Of The Sex Pistols, c 'est ce qui est inscrit au verso de la pochette noire et blanche des 100 premiers exemplaires (environ).

An old man at a cafe I worked in on weekends saw me wearing a Rolling Stones t-shirt and gave me a load of the old blues stuff that influenced the Stones too so I started exploring all the roots of that sound as well. How old were you when you first played an instrument ? My Grandad had a piano/organ that I used to mess about on as a kid and I remember a small toy guit...
