Re: Sandinista! 33 1/3 book by Micajah Henley
I had no idea it was even in the works. I read the preview sample on Amazon and it seems to focus on Sandinista Now! as the basis for a single LP. One the Amazon reviews said it focused too much on this angle and not so much on the music. Which is a shame if true. Sandinista Now! was a promo LP prod...

Re: Clash, Knoxville, TN, March 28, 1984, Alumni Gym
Great story anf thanks for sharing.
A friend of mine saw them in Worcester in 1984 and echoed alot of the same things you mentioned - just a ton of energy on the stage. Would have loved to have seen that run thru the States.

Re: What is your ideal alternative history Clash?
- GEER has Pressure, Groovy and Gates instead of Cheapskates, Guns on the Roof, and ECR. - LC has Armagideon instead of Lovers Rock. - S! has Bankrobber (or Robber Dub) instead of Hitsville. - No return of Bernie. - Topper gets clean and stays in the band.

Do you know if that Mick Jones introduction is new or is that ...
