This footage of Strummer & The Latino Rockabilly War performing "Straight to Hell" has never been seen before. I was one of the 2 cameras that shot it at the Tabernacle in Notting Hill, London in 1988 as part of the Green Wedge Benefit Tour. I found it while going through some old tapes. It was shot on 3/4" Umatic tapes for the technically curious. I was part of a community video group that ran out of Mangrove Studios on All Saints Road which at that time was a "No Go" zone for the police. The video mixing between cameras was done by someone who didn't have much experience doing it which is why it is sort of... well.... messy. And which may be why it was never released. Video quality isn't very good because of standards conversions, dubs etc but still, it is Strummer performing which is pretty cool.

Yeah it was posted not too long ago, but that was the first time it seemed we had seen it.

Don't like the lead guitar and I dislike his shirt even more

Didn't want to start a new thread for this. Has this been posted here? Someone compiled various video clips of Joe with the permanent record theme song.
