“THE GREAT ROCK ‘N’ ROLL SWINDLE”

AUSTRALIAN PROMO 2LP

WITH WHITE PROMO LABELS

AND GOLD PROMO STAMP ON THE BACK COVER

THE AUSTRALIAN PRESSING FEATURE A UNIQUE RUNNING ORDER AND CONTAIN MIXES OF LONELY BOY AND BLACK ARABS WHICH HAVE NEVER APPEARED ANYWHERE ELSE – SEE NOTES BELOW:

The labels have the same track listing as the UK second pressing, minus Belsen Vos A Gasser (Einmal Belsen War Wirflich Bortefflich). However, astonishingly, the records play the following:

Side One

(This side gathers together all the 1976 recordings and makes for great listening).

Johnny B. Goode

Road Runner. Notes: Track concludes with banter and noises missing from regular pressings. Although this material is on the Pirates of Destiny CD, here it is of a better quality.

Watcha Gonna Do About It

Anarchy In The U.K. Notes: “Bible quotation” Goodman produced version.

Substitute

No Lip

Stepping Stone

Side Two

Lonely Boy. Notes: A blatantly different mix. The track has noticeable reverb giving a rougher sound with pounding drums. The vocals are mixed slightly lower. It contains an extra couple of bars near the end which momentarily turn it into another song. It finishes with additional chat not on the regular pressing of the track

Belsen Was A Gas

Something Else

Silly Thing

C'mon Everybody

Side Three

(This side gathers together non-guitar tracks, with the exception of My Way which itself has an orchestral beginning)

You Need Hands. Notes: Amazingly clear.

God Save The Queen (Symphony). Notes: The instrumental version without McLaren’s vocal. The mastering is superb giving a lovely warm sound, eclipsing the standard pressings.

Anarchie Pour L'U.K.

E.M.I. (Orch.)

My Way

Side Four

Friggin' In The Riggin'

Black Arabs. Notes: A completely different beginning to the usual version with a massively extended intro as well as a longer fade out at the end. The track also has extra horn and synthesizer overdubs. It has a different vocal take for the majority of the track and is also missing some vocals; the God Save The Queen segment is vastly different. Overall it sounds sparser and unfinished compared to the normal version, but superb nonetheless.

No One Is Innocent

Einmal Belsen War Wirflich Bortefflich

The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle

Additional note: The album omits Who Killed Bambi, Rock Around The Clock and I Wanna Be Me.

VIRGIN
