Chris Spedding was guitarist with Jack Bruce, Pete Brown's Battered Ornaments, Sharks, The Wombles (uncle bulgaria he was I think) and many more! He definitely played on the original sessions for the early singles along with Bill Bruford and other mainstream musicians, ironic really as the talent free "pistols" were supposed to be rebelling against these BOFs. I knew Malcolm McClaren and Jamie Reid in those days. The Pistols were a creation of Malcolm's. He hired them for their looks and attitude, really no different than the "boy" bands of today. They never stayed together very long - simply because there was nothing there!
