Hard to argue with your choices Marky due to the paucity of quality tracks. I'll take "It's a Rockin' World" as well if allowed, one of my favourite Joe songs.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Yeah, I'd be inclined to include that and the perfectly smooth instrumental Permanent Record theme. I guess I'd cut Dum Dum Club and Evil Darling to slot them in.

I'm sort of thinking how this would've played out as a follow up to EW.

It would be better than EW.

Struggling with this one. Not for a shortage of tracks, but to make a viable, coherent Strummer album. Would have a lot from Walker which I adore, nothing from Permanent Record which I don't (unless the outtakes are considered in which case Cholo Vest is a contender) and from the others Afro Cuban Be Bop is a certainty and Generations a probable.

Love Kills and Dum Dum Club are good songs, as is Its a Rocking World, but I just don't see them fitting with Walker tracks. I find it difficult to put them in any convenient Joe category at all.

Well as we don't know just what's on those tapes Joe left behind I suppose it's nothing more than conjecture. For example where are the EW demos?

Those outtakes are to be included. I think you make a fair comment about it all gelling together maybe the Walker soundtrack is best left as a stand alone idea.

I like Cholo Vest and the two instrumentals Detour and Nameless from the PR outtakes. But even good instrumentals as we know don't often make killer album tracks.

How much of it is actually Joe's composition is debatable, I suppose (I think more than is often credited but maybe that's wishful thinking), but I just love the vibe of Walker. Doubt it sold much. If EW only sold 5k, so Chris Sandwich claims anyway, then I'd guess Walker must have sold even less than that.

Its hard to have much variation from Markys original track listing. I burned my own such CD years ago, but also included songs like 15th Brigade and ...? Cant recall. I played it a lot back in the day, good on family road trips.

I really like 15th Brigade but I guess as a B-side that belongs with EW. Great track though.
