A mysterious punning individual was rumoured to be the high bidder …

Cool. I wondered when that would get sold.

Is there any significance about it beyond being a test pressing? Some kind of different mix or something?

Okay, that's what I assumed. It's just a physical rarity thing (plus the significance of having actually been played on the air and providing important exposure).

That's supposed to be Paul! :shifty:

It’s come in dribs and drabs these past 20 years, but we are putting together the pieces of the real truth to the Clash, dammit!

Interested as hell in this, even tho the whole thing is wrapped in sadness. That's one bit of Sex Pistols history where I'm in total agreement with Lydon: there's nothing romantic about Sid's slow motion suicide (or Nancy's). It may have been inevitable, but it's horrible to objectify them as paragons of cool because of their self-destructive instincts.

Punk cool meets punk dumb. A sad waste.

A tragic tale. It's astonishing that Vicious was only 21 when he died. Only 19 when he joined the most controversial rollercoaster in modern music. Too much for a kid like him to handle.
