What about all the 001 tracks (demos alts etc) do they go with respective albums and what about the demos of Clash songs are they excluded?
Good fucking question.

Flex is organised enough to deal with this I would imagine.

Listening to 001 now, love that Pouring Rain demo. Incidentally MrsW likes the WPF version. I sense some great debate coming and have absolutely no idea which tracks will get through :huh:

I've moved on to the Straight To Hell soundtrack, some gems on this album. Obviously Evil Darling by Joe but I love "Big Nothing" by the MacManus Gang.

Minstrel Boy BHD version could be the dark horse, great track.

I just never got into either version. I'm aware it's very popular but it never clicked with me.

Not necessarily favourites, but what I'd play right now from each of the below:

101ers: their apocalyptic 8 minute cover of Gloria
Earthquake Weather: Ride Your Donkey, I suppose. Cholo Vest as great Strummer work from this time.
Rock Art: X Ray Style
Global: Johnny Appleseed
Streetcore: Long Shadow

I say go with the Walker vocal tracks only. It's decent music for playing chess to but I couldn't really judge the instrumental pieces against each other.
Agreed.
