Damn. I bought the bloody Neurotic Outsiders album just because of the way Paul sang that song. Angelina and Revolution were okaaay, but...
Do you know where I might find some more Paul vocals?
Hmm, not sure . Maybe some vocals with The Professionals which is the band Paul & Steve formed post-Pistols. Sure there must be a cd somewhere.
Funny....just earlier as I was having dinner I threw on a dvd comp of old Pistols footage and there's a video on there for "Silly Thing," but with Jones doing the singing. I think it's the version used in the Swindle movie itself, but the version on the Swindle album definitely has Cook on vocals. I've never been able to find out if there's a 7" version or some other release with the Jones-vocal. Personally, I prefer Cook's vocals on the tune. The video cracks me up -- Steve and Paul look all dolled up, almost boyband-like. Trying to pull birds, I guess.
As for the Professionals, it's all Steve Jones vocals. And good stuff at that. There are two main cds out there -- one is the studio album I Didn't See It Coming, with a bunch of single tracks and b-sides tacked on; the other is just called The Professionals, which is harder, earlier versions of many of the album tracks recorded as a 3-piece, with many of the same bonus tracks tacked on. I think Virgin might've released some other comp too that mixes and matches various tracks from the first two cd releases (they love milking back catalogues), but I could be wrong about that.
