Really nice sounding demo. A very Dylan sounding tune.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Joe Strummer 002 coming soon?
A little light on legit outtakes, but the demos are a nice addition if they aren't carbon copies. The Road demo seems to indicate that they are at least slightly different.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: Joe Strummer 002 coming soon?
I'd be happy with cd of just the demos. Forbidden City was already released on that RSD 12". London Is Burning was released on a limited 7".

Re: Joe Strummer 002 coming soon?
Pretty much a "what it says on the tin" box. Would have loved some more material (live maybe?) but it looks like $165 for a 7-lp set - not as bad as I'd have expected. May place an order.
Agreed with Marky that it'd be great if the rarities 2-lp set was released standalone as a CD. Not holding my breathe, though.
EDIT: being released as a CD edition as well: https://shop.joestrummer.com/collection ... -years-4cd

Re: Joe Strummer 002 coming soon?
Must admit i did get a bit over excited when i saw the 7 LP and automatically assumed we'd get, if not a treasure trove of stuff, then a few more demos and previously unheard of tracks at least. But as it turns out, Rock Art and Global take up 4 of those discs on their own. Ah well! Do really like that Road take though so looking forward to the other demos with interest.

Re: Joe Strummer 002 coming soon?
My first complaint: I'd have rounded up the various compilation rarities and so forth that were issues during the Meskies years as well, a few live cuts seem missing from the "extras" disc. I was going to complain about the lack of the vocal version of Minstrel Boy then remembered it was included on 001. I guess they're mostly try not to replicate the two volumes, which I appreciate. Other than the album tracks which appeared on 001, the only other track that seems to pop up on both is London is Burning, unless it's a different take.
