Sex Pistols: The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle [Virgin, 1980]
The soundtrack to the mythical Who Killed Bambi is a joke, a rip-off, a piece of conceptual art, etc. But it's also a lovely memento, and you can listen to it--every one of its four sides will bring a smile to your lips. These notes, then. A) The symphonic "EMI" tops the disco medley tops the symphonic "Anarchy." B) Ronnie Biggs singing "Belsen Vos a Gassa" is at least as entertaining as Johnny Rotten singing "Belsen Was a Gas." C) Johnny Rotten forgetting Chuck Berry lyrics is more entertaining than Sid Vicious remembering Eddie Cochran lyrics. D) Sid Vicious singing "My Way" is more entertaining than Frank Sinatra singing "My Way." E) Frank Sinatra does not appear on this record. B+
