45 RPMs 94: Sex Pistols ~ God Save the Queen
~
45 RPM front cover
cover design by Jamie Reid
On May 26, 1977, the Sex Pistols released the single, God Save the Queen, which described the monarchy as a "fascist regime. It was released and coincided with national celebrations for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. It is believed it was created because of the Silver Jubilee, however, the band has denied it, with Paul Cook
saying that "it wasn't written specifically for the Queen's Jubilee.
We weren't aware of it at the time. It wasn't a contrived effort to go
out and shock everyone." Johnny Rotten
has explained the lyrics as follows: "You don't write God Save the
Queen because you hate the English race. You write a song like that
because you love them, and you're fed up with them being mistreated." He intended to evoke sympathy for the English working class and a general resentment towards the monarchy.
On 7 June 1977, the Jubilee holiday, the band attempted to play the song from a boat named the Queen Elizabeth on the River Thames, near the Palace of Westminster. After a scuffle involving attendee Jah Wobble and a camera man, 11 people, including Malcolm McLaren, the man who organized the concert, and several other members of the band's entourage, were arrested when the boat docked.

The song's title is taken directly from the British national anthem. The original title for the song was No Future, with the lyrics themselves being a general expression of the band's view of the monarchy or any individual or establishment commanding general obligation.
The song was banned from being played by the BBC and by nearly every independent radio station in Britain, making it the most censored record in British history.
In spite of this, The song reached No. 1 on the NME charts in the United Kingdom, and made it to No. 2 on the official UK Singles Chart as used by the BBC. This led to accusations that the charts had been "fixed" to prevent the song from reaching No. 1
God Save the Queen was included on Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, the band's only album.
Rolling Stone ranked God Save the Queen number 175 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and it is also one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. It was Sounds magazine's Single of the Year in 1977. In 1989, it was eighteenth in the list of NME writers' all-time top 150 singles. Q magazine in 2002 ranked it first on its list of "The 50 Most Exciting Tunes Ever..." and third on its list of "100 Songs That Changed the World" in 2003. In 2010, the song was ranked among the top 10 most controversial songs of all time in a poll conducted by PRS for Music.
In 2012, it was announced that the single would be re-released on 28
May 2012, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the original release
and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Lydon has voiced his disapproval over the re-release and the campaign,
saying in a statement: "I would like to very strongly distance myself
from the recent stories and campaign to push 'God Save the Queen' for
the number one spot... this campaign totally undermines what The Sex
Pistols stood for."
With the death of Elizabeth II in September 2022 and the accession of King Charles III, Matlock began to perform a modified version of the song which reflects the royal succession. Lydon paid tribute to the Queen on Twitter and subsequently objected to any commercial use of The Sex Pistols' tracks to capitalize on the Queen's death.
The single's picture sleeve, featuring a defaced image of Queen Elizabeth II, was designed by Jamie Reid and in 2001 was ranked No. 1 in a list of the 100 greatest record covers of all time by Q magazine. A photograph of the image is held by the National Portrait Gallery, London.
On the 18 March 1983 episode of SCTV in the Mel's Rock Pile segment, Mel Slirrup (Eugene Levy) has a tribute to punk rock featuring a number by the band the Queenhaters—Martin Short (lead singer), Andrea Martin (lead guitarist/back-up vocals), Eugene Levy (rhythm guitarist), Joe Flaherty (bass), and John Candy
(drummer)—performing I Hate the Bloody Queen, a sound-alike song that
almost matches the original it is spoofing, with references to the Falklands War
("I'd like to drown the Queen/Off the coast of Argentine/Throw her off a
battleship/With her Falkland war machine!") and the problems that Princess Diana
was, and would be soon having with her in-laws ("I feel sorry for you,
Lady Di/Having a mother-in-law like that!"). This spoof of the Sex
Pistols God Save the Queen even has its own cover version by Mudhoney on the tribute album Oh Canaduh! 2.
in 1975, Queen did an instrumental version of the original God Save the Queen piece. It would have been great if a vocal version with Freddie Mercury had been done.

45 RPMs 8: PIL (Public Image Ltd.) ~ Metal Box

~ ~ ~
I've started the Vinyl series because I have a collection of over 20,000 vinyl record albums I am
selling; each blog entry is about an album from my collection. Inquire
for information here.
~ ~ ~
There were two Decembers in particular that were good to me in regards to Punk/New Wave music, 1979 and 1983.
Sometime in December of 1979, I came across one of the many exciting and innovative albums produced in the late Punk era. It had just been released the month before but a copy of it was marked down because the cover was slightly "abused." Although I was familiar with the lead singer, I had never heard of the group. I bought it simply because I was intrigued by the packaging (always been a sucker for unique packaging).

The album consists of three untitled 45-rpm
12-inch (30-cm) records . . .
. . . all packaged in a metal box resembling a film
canister with an embossed PIL logo on the lid.
Public Image Ltd. ~ Metal Box back
From Wikipedia . . .
'Public Image Ltd (also known as PiL) is an English post-punk band formed by ex-Sex Pistols singer John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten), guitarist Keith Levene, bassist Jah Wobble, and drummer Jim Walker. Personnel has changed frequently over the ensuing years. Lydon is the sole constant member of the band.
Lydon emerged after the break-up of the Sex Pistols with PiL's Public Image: First Issue (1978). The new band had a more experimental sound: a "droning, slow-tempo, bass-heavy noise rock, overlaid by Lydon's distinctive, vituperative rant". Their early work is often regarded as some of the most challenging and innovative music of the post-punk era. Their 1979 album Metal Box was ranked number 469 on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The NME described PiL as "arguably the first post-rock group".'
Public Image Ltd. ~ Metal Box w/liner notes
Metal Box was the second album by PIL. It was originally released in the metal box in an edition of 50,000 copies (plus an extra 10,000 for export). The design for Metal Box was the brainchild of Dennis Morris, photographer and designer. It was later reissued in
more conventional packaging as a double LP set, Second Edition.
Big Black produced an EP, Bulldozer, released in December of 1983, with the first two hundred copies packaged in a galvanized sheet metal sleeve in homage to Metal Box by Public Image Ltd. (see link below).
Packaged in a 12" film can-style metal box. Sides are labelled Metal 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 on the info sheet and Metal 1-A, Metal 1-B, Metal 1-C, Metal 1-D, Metal 1-E and Metal 1-F on the record labels. Includes an A5 size sheet with tracklist and line-up.
Side B ends with a locked groove which repeats the last few seconds of "Swan Lake" endlessly until the needle is lifted from the record. The Runout for 1.B has three lines for the letters "B", the middle of which is superimposed over an "A".

The songs
(Click on title to hear song)
Record 1, side A - Albatross - 10:32
Albatross is early Michael Jackson, Billie Jean (I've wondered if Michael had heard Albatross), with a hard but subtle steel-sounding guitar/synth? It sounds like it's recorded in a silent, echoey machine shop. It has an edge that bites, nicely but it does bite. The John Lydon vocal is sparse, distant and echoey. The guitar does some great stuff during some of the breaks.
Record 1, side B
B1 - Memories - 5:05
B2 - Swan Lake - 4:19
B1 - Memories - 5:05
B2 - Swan Lake - 4:19
Memories starts with a fast bass guitar and bass drum beat that doesn't waste time in gettin' on with it. The tinny, echoey, guitar-sounding synthesizer does some great work in this piece. The vocal by Lydon is typically wacky, off-key and a lot of fun (imagine a mosh pit on steroids).
Swan Lake, the following cut, is a way cool interpretation of the Tchaikovsky work, Swan Lake. The bass guitar hesitantly peeps from around the curtain then leads the gang on to a determined march. Some fantastic instrumentals supporting the incomprehensible vocal of Lydon stroll around and eventually but sporadically bring in the motif. It is very nicely done.

Record 2, side C
C1 - Poptones - 7:45
C2 - Careering - 4:32
C1 - Poptones - 7:45
C2 - Careering - 4:32
Poptones is a kind of aimless song but not my favorite in the set. There is some great bass guitar work in it though.
Record 2, side D
D1 - No Birds (Do Sing) - 4:43
D2 - Graveyard - 3:07
D1 - No Birds (Do Sing) - 4:43
D2 - Graveyard - 3:07
No Birds (Do Sing) has a dissonant, disjointed and eerie edge to it that is disturbing, which is what punk was all about.
Graveyard is slow, determined and methodical. It is dark and mysterious. It is a brilliant instrumental; a taste of New Wave at its finest.
Record 3, side E
E1 - The Suit -3:29
E2 - Bad Baby - 4:30
E1 - The Suit -3:29
E2 - Bad Baby - 4:30
The Suit is a weird, more spoken than sung song with Lydon doing some bizarre things but that also is the job of punk.
Bad Baby has a strange double beat with a strange synth in the background and a very strange vocal by Lydon. I guess it's just a strange song.
Socialist is FAST! No foolin' around with this one. At 3:10 I couldn't wait for it to be over. Not good.
Chant is another determined guy. It moves on with a jerky insistent pace that makes me want to march right on out and do something; what, I don't know. 5:01.
Radio 4 starts almost reverently with an organ/synth joined by the bass guitar. It has a subtle waltz tempo and it also is an instrumental. It logs in at 4:24.
Palladium Geneve, Switzerland. 26.10.1986
There is an interview with drummer David Humphrey that was first published on Fodderstompf, in April of 2004 (see link below).
The album was recorded by Virgin Records, Ltd., a British record label founded by English entrepreneur Richard Branson, Simon Draper, Nik Powell and Tom Newman in 1972. The company grew to be a worldwide music phenomenon, with platinum performers such as Roy Orbison, Devo, Genesis, Keith Richards, Janet Jackson, the Human League, Culture Club, Simple Minds, Lenny Kravitz, dc Talk, the Smashing Pumpkins, Mike Oldfield, Spice Girls and many other artists. It was later sold to Thorn EMI in 1992.
Wholly owned by Universal Music Group after its purchase of EMI in 2012, UMG absorbed its British operations to create Virgin EMI Records in March 2013, which absorbed Mercury Records UK.

Fans is the second album by Malcolm McLaren, released in 1984. It was an attempt at fusing opera with 1980s R&B and contains adaptations of pieces from famous operas such as Madama Butterfly and Carmen. The opera recordings were made at the Unitarian Church, Belmont, Massachusetts by Stephen Hague and Walter Turbitt. Two singles were released from the album: Madame Butterfly (un bel dì vedremo) peaked at number 13 in the UK Singles Chart and Carmen (L'Oiseau Rebelle) reached number 79.

I
was still in the thralls of disco but on the verge of getting tired of
it when the album came out. The covers of the operas are quite
marvelous so it reignited the flame. The main title, Madama Butterfly, has stupendous vocals by Diane Garisto, Sheila Pate and Debbie Cole. The Boy's Chorus and Death Of Butterfly1 are more on the rock side; the latter an operatic wonder and heart-splitting cover of the Humming Chorus which makes me dissolve into tears with each hearing. There is a truly interesting piano duo with chorus by Greg Anderson & Elizabeth Roe that at one point has a jazzy edge of the melody (McLaren updated, so to speak) on YouTube (link below).
Malcolm McLaren was an English fashion designer and music manager. He was a promoter and a manager for punk rock and new wave bands such as New York Dolls, Sex Pistols, Adam & the Ants, and Bow Wow Wow, and was an early commercial architect of the punk subculture.
From 1974 to 1976 he operated the Chelsea boutique Sex with his girlfriend Vivienne Westwood, which helped shape early punk fashion and became an early hub for the subculture in London. After a period advising the New York Dolls in the United States, McLaren managed the Sex Pistols, for which he recruited frontman Johnny Rotten. The issue of a controversial record, God Save the Queen, satirizing the Queen's Jubilee
in 1977, was typical of McLaren's shock tactics, and he gained
publicity by being arrested after a promotional boat trip outside the Houses of Parliament.
