I'm not sure if this is one of the best or one of the worst ever rock songs- for probably the same reasons!
Tenpole Tudor-the main vocalist- ruins the whole idea of having a man off the street replace Rotten as lead vox of the Pistols. He's the worst singer of the lot- and what the fuck is he on?

Re: The Great Rock and Roll Swindle
The 'main' vocalist isn't infact Eddie, BUT auditions for Lydons replacement.
Eddie only recorded 'Who Killed Bambi' with Jonesy and Cook as well as 'snippets' for Swindle song.
Piss easy to play though

Tenpole Tudor was the alias they had some hits in 1981.
Re: The Great Rock and Roll Swindle
The vocalist is listed as 'Tenpole Tudor' on the sleeve of 'Jubilee'.

I do trust you, Ace- just reporting what my sleeve says.
Re: The Great Rock and Roll Swindle
Eddie was credited as vocals, but as stressed, his were only snippets that were used on the song, the rest is a variety of uncredited wannabee vocalists that were recorded auditions for the new Sex Pistols singer as Johnny had quit at this time. As they were 'unknown' and on the film, used masks to hide their identity, they were unpaid and recieved no acknowledgement, apart from Eddie Ten Pole Tudor who WAS paid for his few lines and for 'Who Killed Bambi?' with a section in the film where he played a nutty bloke behind a kiosk in the cinema.
Great Rock n Roll Swindle when released pictured an American Express card with SEX PISTOLS on it that American Express wanted banning, this was a supposed rarity, but you can get a decent copy on ebay at a fiver tops

Sorry, should have read 'used masks when filmed for their auditions on the film, The Great Rock n Roll Swindle'
Oh yes, Mary Millington in her last scene as well I believe, giving Steve Jones a sloppy blowie in the cinema...........Jones has never said one way or another if he really did get blown.........and he was a real pussy sniffer!
