By the way, is LC not roughly the same length as GEER anyway? I know LC has nine more songs but GEER has a 3 minute guitar solo at the end of every song.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Yeah but if you remove those 3 mins you end up with a 15 min album.

This is even easier than trimming Sandinista. Jimmy Jazz, Hateful, Right Profile and most of the second LP bar Wrong Em Boyo, Death or Glory, and Train in Vain all go on EPs and B-Sides. You could even throw in Koka Kola since it's short.

The best effort yet. Replace BNC with TiV and I'd sign this off.

I was happy to take on the task myself, but there is really nothing better than sharing once-in-a-lifetime experiences with friends.

i'm damned weary of these revisionist album exercises. the albums are fine as are and make me happy with their respective flows. 'Old Guy Disease' or just un-critical thinking/tastes? goddamn them all, i like the way the Clash recorded.

Sure but it's just for fun. You remember fun don't you. It's the way things use to be before The Clash became serious art.

Looks like that's just disc 2, packaged as a single disc.
