The interview was a turning point in people’s perception of John Lydon and his public image. Malcolm McLaren and Glitterbest hated it. They never wanted him to do it; and were horrified at his record selections. However, this wasn’t just a case of breaking rank – if it ever even was – it was about music. MUSIC. “Just play the records. They’ll speak for themselves. That’s my idea of fun…”

The records highlighted John’s eclectic musical tastes, and his open-mind. Reggae, folk, soul, avant-garde, and good old rock n roll, it was all there. And not a Stooges or Dolls record in sight.

Quite fascinating and aurally intriguing collection of tunes. I’m sure someone has made this into a mix tape compilation or playlist and I’d love to hear it.
