On 25 December 1977, the band played a matinee for the children of Huddersfield during the firemen’s strike. John Lydon claimed in the documentary Never Mind the Baubles that Vicious needed a serious talking-to beforehand because he wanted to be the “hardcore, tough rocker bloke” and that swearing and being tough wasn’t “the right way” to “get the message across” to the children. The recording of the Johnny Thunders song “Born to Lose” which appears on Sid Sings, featuring Vicious on vocals, was recorded during this performance, when Johnny Rotten stepped offstage to pose as Father Christmas. These were the Sex Pistols’ last performances in England until the Filthy Lucre reunion tour of 1996 (with the original quartet together again).
Vicious was in the band, but he could not play well and had no bass guitar experience, so guitarist Steve Jones played bass on the band’s debut album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. Vicious appeared only on “Bodies”, which he was allowed to play bass on, even though it would be overdubbed later on by Jones. He was also absent from the album’s sessions, because he was in the hospital with hepatitis (most likely from his drug use) and during that period his main visitor would have been his girlfriend [Nancy Spungen], an American groupie (and friend of Johnny Thunders’) he had met in 1977. She is said to have introduced Vicious to heroin, although he was already abusing drugs (supplied by his mother, Anne Beverley) before he met her.
