....SATURDAY JANUARY 8TH 1977
| The Sex Pistols might be in dissaray but Punk in England was really starting to filter through to the masses via the BIG cities like Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow. But there were also smaller scenes growing up like in places like Nottingham who spawned fanzines like... Rotten To The Core which was "recommended to guttersnipes". |
| The Sex Pistols and manager Malcolm McLaren return to London from Amsterdam minus their record company EMI and the bassplayer Glen Matlock is noticeably abscent from this picture too. |
| Rotten To The Core 1st Issue released January 1977. "I want to put the Sex Pistols on the front of every issue. It's named after Johnny Rotten, they started it all, they made it all possible". - Dave Chaos (18) |

Even by January 1977 the Sex
Pistols had become big enough to
even earn themselves a parody, as
this rather amusing 45 got sprung
upon us. Its one of the better ones of
many to follow which got a firm
tongue in cheek single of the week
slot in todays New Musical Express.
