Phil,
I had heard that Matlock only played bass on the singles they released before
"... Bollocks" came out--basically what they had recorded before he got kicked
out. Jones has claimed repeatedly that he played bass on the tracks they
recorded once Sid joined.
Spedding's website mentions he produced three songs for them, but also that
Jones played the (overdubbed) guitar solos himself.
Now I'm confused.

The Sex Pistols "Never Mind The Bollocks" features only two Sex Pistols
on disc (Lydon and Cook), with Vicious replaced by ex-Pistol bassist
Glenn Matlock ('cuz he could actually play bass), and Jones replaced by
the amazing Chris Spedding - a guitar god in his own right. Fabricated
punk from the get-go! Great album, nonetheless.
The only member of the Del-tones on any of Dick Dale's studio
recordings from the sixties is the occasional appearance by his bass
player. The usual suspects (studio liazrds) were on hand.
Only Ron Wilson appears on Surais vocals (for the most part) once they
signed with Decca. Bud Dant (producer) thought they were a sloppy band,
just kids. We lucked out because he did not think the instrumentals
were anything more than filler, thus allowing the band to actually
recorded those.

Well Warren, there ya go. With none of us there, and differing stories
depending on who you talk to, and a band that was generally really
horrible (msuicianship-wise) live, it's hard to believe they were ever
professional or good enough to record what's on Bollocks. I guess we
take the stroy we think makes the most sense to be the most likely and
leave it at that.
