Anarchy In The U.K.

One-sided acetate with light and dark blue Abbey Road Studios label. (The label design appears to have been introduced in 1983.) Handwritten titles. Original demo recording from Dave Goodman Denmark Street demos, July 1976. It's the earliest version of "Anarchy" - essentially the rhythm track of The Modern Lovers' "Roadrunner" with the lyrics and guitar for "Anarchy". This and similar Abbey Road acetates for [r=14344145] and [r=11860386] (in a rumored edition of 6 each) may have been cut to order for [l65091], which released these same recordings (with the identical mixes) on [m30907] in January 1985. Other mixes of this recording exist with a sound that is closer to the commercial release: the relative dates of these mixes have not been determined. This recording was also released as a bonus track on [m30659] (1996), which has led to some confusion between this and the "Spunk version", but the version of "Anarchy" (a/k/a "Nookie") on the original [r=673946] bootleg LP was taken from Dave Goodman's November 1976 session. Duration is timed from disk.
