CASSETTE – U.S. North Basement Demo
Unreleased. Recorded 1986. Discovered in Joe’s cast cupboard.
Joe Strummer & Mick Jones: Vocals, Guitar, Drum Machine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Strummer_001:
Cassette of previously unheard and unreleased "Full Moon (Basement Demo)" - with artwork replicated from the original cassette recording from Joes's archive. Originally, this was going to be a cassette with a second demo of US North called "US North (Basement Demo)". However, the people responsible for the compilation vetoed this decision and replaced it with Full Moon.

Re: Dark Horse releases - 'Assembly' 2LP
Hopefully US Norths demo gets released or leaked at some point. A Strummer/Jones composition I like just as much as anything else they did.

I doubt the demo will be be ever released officially. It apparently sounds quite crummy.

Looking forward to the vinyl arriving on Friday. I wonder if the tracks have been remastered without being brick walled.

Disappointingly, Joe Strummer 001 sounds brick walled. I noticed that someone else has remastered Assembly, so hopefully it's not brick walled, too.Telecaster wrote: ↑24 Mar 2021, 11:41amLooking forward to the vinyl arriving on Friday.

The new CD is also very loud. Don't know about the vinyl. The Junco Partner is also heavy with reverb, though still cool.

I second this. I love the two live BAD versions we heard for years and especially the Strummer 001 version, but it'd be incredible if we heard Mick and Joe a bit more evenly on the demo.Silent Majority wrote: ↑12 Mar 2021, 5:17amHopefully US Norths demo gets released or leaked at some point.

Not had a lot of time to check the album out today, but I think there might be a slight remix as well as remastering going on.
Paul Hicks has got quite a decent CV including The Beatles.
Has anyone else heard the album yet, it is on Spotify.

I checked it out on Spotify. Sleepwalk sounds much improved, and the two live cuts sound great, too. My ear isnt discerning enough to tell what's different with the Mescaleros album cuts - I've always thought they sound good, and still do.Telecaster wrote: ↑26 Mar 2021, 3:20pmNot had a lot of time to check the album out today, but I think there might be a slight remix as well as remastering going on.

I'm sure 001 took a lot of wind out of their sails (and, uhh, sales...). It's hard to justify buying some of these tunes again so soon.

Agreed! Unfortunately, the Clash & co. dont have a great track record with implied second volumes.
