* [[AbsenteeActor Absentee Musician]]: Both Glen Matlock and Sid Vicious on this album. The former was fired prior to recording this album, but appeared on "Anarchy in the UK" before his departure. The latter was being treated for hepatitis (or at least that was a good excuse, considering that Sid couldn't really play) so he only appeared on "Bodies". As a result, it is Steve Jones that did most of the bass playing on this album.

** "New York" was largely aimed at band manager Malcolm [=McLaren=], who had previously managed the Music/NewYorkDolls and held them and other New York bands up as the punk ideal. The constant references to "pills" and a "kiss" are references to the New York Dolls songs "Pills" and "Looking for a Kiss".
