Sex Pistols: No Future UK Unofficial Promo 1977 VG+

The Spunk LP surfaced before the official Never Mind the Bollocks album in 1977. It features raw demos, widely seen as more “authentic” and closer to the Pistols’ live sound. While unofficial, it holds legendary status in punk history — many fans prefer its gritty versions over the slicker studio release.

Bold yellow/black cover collage with “NO FUTURE U.K.?” headline. “NOT FOR SALE” and “Limited Edition Promo / DJ copy” suggests it’s an unofficial or promotional bootleg. • Tracklist: Matches the well-known Spunk bootleg demos, featuring early recordings produced by Dave Goodman. Tracklist includes: • Side A: “Seventeen,” “Satellite,” “Feelings,” “Just Me” (alt title for “I Wanna Be Me”), “Submission,” “Nookie” • Side B: “No Future” (alt title for “God Save the Queen”), “Problems,” “Lots of Fun,” “Liar,” “Who Was It,” “New York” • Label: Lavender “BLANK” label – typical of Spunk bootlegs issued in 1977 (and represses in the 1980s/90s). Label credits producer “P. Dickerson” (a pseudonym), with “Published by White Bitch” — a further sign of an unofficial release. Matrix/runout: BLA 669-A/B, aligning with known Spunk variants.

• Manufacture Date: Label reads “© 1977” — but many copies were repressed well into the 1980s and even later.
