The Gallagher children version of the latter.
Of course... I'm getting senile.

All the links here seem to be working but mp3 only...

Yep, but those are all low bitrate mp3, so not useful for any attempts at remastering.

Re: Bernie Rhodes' on a CTC retrospective

When i saw them in Brixton i thought they showed some real promise. That there was life in the band after Mick and Topper and I don't say that lightly because I'm a huge Mick admirer. I'm also very much a fan of Mick Jones, but I find most of the shows he played with The Clash from Sandinista! and ...

Re: Bernie Rhodes' on a CTC retrospective

I think Pete is vastly underrated. I totally agree, his playing was consistently fantastic. For some reason, the playing by the entire band seems to have become more uninspired and blunt as they went on – perhaps as a result of Bernie and Cosmo's destructive putting down of the new members and the ...

Re: Bernie Rhodes' on a CTC retrospective

Which shows did you see? Worcester and Providence. The latter was just total mayhem and the former was a brutal, relentless, and well-oiled engine of doom I need to give them a listen if they're out there. I just listened to the Hofstra University 1984 show for the first time, and it's just incredi...

Re: Bernie Rhodes' on a CTC retrospective

I've seen a lot of bands and a lot of shows. But i never saw a more cathartic and shamanic performance than Joe put on at those Clash II shows. Even after all these years. I agree that some of those shows (perhaps even the majority) were great. The Barrowlands gig stands out to me from all the live...

Re: Bernie Rhodes' on a CTC retrospective

Julien Temple praising Clash II: Interviewer: "At the same time, at some point after those albums they did become just another rock band, didn't they? Certainly their late albums were pretty bad. It's painful for someone who was a fan to see that footage where Joe is trying to keep the band together...

Dave Goodman was behind Spunk.
The recording, yes – but I've always been under the impression that McLaren was behind the release.

Re: Bernie Rhodes' on a CTC retrospective

Just read both these interviews and they were really damn good and somewhat revelatory. Nice to see them not getting the same old questions and having to tell the same old stories over and over again. Right? I thought they were both really good, too. Nice to see professional, knowledgeable journali...

Re: Bernie Rhodes' on a CTC retrospective

Judging by what he's been saying in interviews more recently, Paul might not necessarily be opposed to revisiting the CTC material: "OK, worst Clash record. PS: Cut The Crap. It had the potential to be quite a good record but Bernie got too involved. If I had known that was going to happen, I would ...

Re: Bernie Rhodes' on a CTC retrospective

Given how subversive Bernie likes to consider himself, leaking them would be his own way of asserting their value to his conception of the band, against that of the band themselves, the music press, and music industry. McLaren would have pulling all kinds shady games to muddle the story. He could r...
