Still, those who got it then were met with a classic mess. Orchestral versions of Pistols favorites, Tenpole's legendary "Who Killed Bambi?" performance, the French Street Musicians playing "Anarchy in the UK," the Disco Pistols medley (a car trip favorite!), Cook and Jones' "Silly Thing," the Pistols running crazy on covers of songs like "Substitute" and "Stepping Stone" (both the best covers and now among classic Pistols lists), Malcolm's singing "You Need Hands," and Sid's definitive version of "My Way." For a long time, this was an album that caught the eye, but still passed on for new happenings. Today, it's a cult classic. Save time for this after listening to the definitive Pistols album and collection of your choice, and then dive into the madness...or better yet see the film.
I always enjoyed that soundtrack, without doubt one of the best rock soundtracks ever.
