Los Punk Rockers, “Los Exitos De Sex Pistols” ([some bootlegger], 2014
Absolutely astounding curiosity from post-Franco Spain. A re-recording of “Never Mind The Bollocks” by some semi-competent band of studio hacks, recorded in glorious mud-fi. Still more wretchedly brilliant than the ham-handed musicians, though, is the vocalist, who comes on like a crazed, gargling method actor with Tourette’s. By the bizarre laws of punk rock, this is almost better than the “original.”
