I really like the idea of using all the singles even if I don't love a few of them. It's a cut and dry way to tell the story and get a nice cross section of material. This looks like a really solid playlist I'll have to recreate.Equaliser wrote: ↑28 Mar 2021, 2:23pmI was waiting for confirmation that once again it is brick walled. Bummer. I am also a bit disappointed with the track selection. First of all lose the live Clash covers, Joe had enough good solo tracks to fill a best of without having to resort to that. The one rarity then is solo version of Junco Partner (that I really enjoy but...? Why bother with the rarities then? Should have saved that for 002. I would have made certain all the singles were included at the very least. So here is my version of Assembly compiled along the same lines as the original dropping a few and adding a few. What would you change?
1 Coma Girl (single from SC)
2 London Is Burning (single from 001)
3 Johnny Appleseed (single from GAG)
4 Trash City (single from PR)
5 Island Hopping (single from EW)
6 Tony Adams (single from RA&XS)
7 Generations (single from Generations)
8 Sleepwalk (album track EW)
9 Love Kills (single from S&N)
10 Gangsterville (single from EW)
11 Get Down Moses (album track from SC)
12 X-Ray Style (album track RA&XS)
13 Tennessee Rain (single from Walker)
14 15th Brigade (B-side EW)
15 Redemption Song (single from SC)
16 Burning Lights (single from IHACK)
17 Forbidden City (album track RA&XS)
18 Yalla Yalla (single from RA&XS)
19 Filibustro (single from Walker)
My personal post-Clash JS mix, in keeping to Assembly's 16 track length, would be:
1. Filibustero
2. Unknown Immortal
3. Tennessee Rain
4. Trash city
5. Island Hopping
6. Sleepwalk
7. Burning Lights
8. It's A Rocking World
9. X-Ray Style
10. Yalla Yalla
11. Johnny Appleseed
12. Global a go go
13. Bhindi Bhagee
14. Mondo Bongo
15. Coma Girl
16. Get Down Moses
Edit: though I have to say the sequencing/flow of Assembly is really well done, and I know it isn't an easy task with material as eclectic as Joe's.
