If this classic was the real Pistols second album it would have been perfect, but alas real subversion wasn't ever really on the agenda,and the "Punks" all got a future.
If you don't know what this great record is, it's a Spanish only punk cash -in that is a session musician created replica of the aforementioned "Bollocks", but fronted by what sounds like the first bloke they could find on the streets of Madrid who had heard of Rock'n'Roll; played the Pistols album to him once, then said "Ok, lets do a take", with the poor witless fool trying his best to remember the lyrics. There's lots of Rottenesque cackling laughter, and mucho misheard versions of Lydon's art-foundation course scribblings of yore.
My favourite being the almost Burroughsian version of "Seventeen" ('s) chorus ("I'm a lazy Sod"), which is gloriously transformed into the dadaesque "I'm a Lazy Seven"!!!?? And there's plenty more where that came from, but I won't spoil the fun,I'll leave it to you digital plunderers to discover for yourselves.
Musically, the sessionista faux-punk bland out was only ever bettered by the backing tracks from the magnificent second album by the immortal Adverts; ie "A Cast of Thousands"(1979); which I hope was a deliberate act on the part of TV Smith and co, and a unmatched middle finger to the cast of thousands of Travis Bickles in denim and levver!
This is fucking GREAT!, and don't you just love that cover; its as if the designer had done his research on Punk Rockers by reading Kays Catalogue (cheapo and probably now defunct UK shopping catalogue from the 70's/80's).

Sad face. I might have enjoyed this. Not really into being a premium 4share user though.
I've enjoyed your blog for the last year or so, popping in periodically as it were to visit these real chipped gems by muddled misanthrope types. Glad face.
Thanks!
(PS There's some poopy spam above me I particularly enjoy the utter rubbish talk makes sense through a sea shell lunchbox crave. Yes.)
This is hilarious! Love it! Also really digging your online mixtape thing - especially to see The Users on there. Minoy too. Excellent. Thanx, as ever.
You don't have to be a premium 4Shared user to download this.You must be clicking on the wrooooong icon.
Yes, the Users and Minoy,two supreme examples of what it is to be Human.Glad you get it.
Okay, so I'm only as far as Liar at the moment and this is already the funniest thing I've EVER heard!!! Nick, you've made my day, mate. Pure class.
Sorry I'm back so soon... "Problems" is missing... I NEED to hear it, maaaan!
Best album ever.
NG
Okay, finished... I damn near pissed myself to "Pretty Vacant", and as for "EMI"...
What's wrong with his guitar? Or maybe his amp? Or maybe him? Best singer I've ever heard, and indeed the best lyrics. If that's what they are.
Amazing stuff. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Yup, it preetty hamazing-ahhhhh!..;as the singer of Los Punk Rockers would say. It is definitely up there with the greatest good/bad albums of all time.
The stuff that makes life almost worrth living.
So glad you,re enjoying this so much.
I'd write some more but "I'm a lazy Seven_ahhhhh!"
Shit, you're right, No problems! I'll track down this errant classic pronto!
Very manic & Hispanic!
thanks dude!
CLASSIC spanish trash!!! The musicians playing here are believed to be members of prog-hard band ASFALTO but I never read or heard anything confirming that!!! THANKS, I love this blog.
Hi Tiny,
some things are best left unconfirmed. I think this is a classic case of that! Never over-analyse great art.
Simply brilliant! Sorta reminds me of a local backyard band I heard last summer.
Any word on Problems?--Bill
Problems is giving me problems Bill! It must be hiding in a real obscure part of my hard drive!
Thankyou! This is great. Love the guitar sound, and as for the singing... wow! Great blog!
