I agree entirely, It was never mclarens vision but also it was never a
compromise, It was a genuine surprise - that / then he manipulated into his own
working formulae, and made his reputation and money upon !

Malcolm did change the scene though, bringing about
the end of the era of Gary Glitter, Alvin Stardust,
Mud, The Sweet, Quatro and the rest of us. "Glam" was
in its last throes in '75. Malcolm knew that he was
going to do that, change the scene dramatically, and
told me so very directly and confidently.

It didn't quite work out the way he had hoped though.
The thing was, Jones, Matlock, and Cook had very
traditional rock n roll roots (the Faces and bands
like that were Jones' influence), and they played very
well. Mix in the totally unique frontman Lydon and it
was an experience to behold on stage.
But it wasn't Malcolm's initial vision. It became a
compromise.
