Re: Marky Dread Remasters
Firstly, a HUGE thank you to Mr. Markey Dread for these remasters. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The info both here and on Black Market Clash is mind boggling and all from a place of love and passion. I'm sure The Clash would be very proud to know these places and people exist.
I read every page and downloaded every link (or I hope I did) about a year and a half ago. Listened to a handful then I got completely waylaid with other things in life. Now I'm back on the case and started to go through these.
I figured the best way was to go year by year. So here is a pic of how 1976 looks. The artwork is incredible and my crappy printer doesn't do it justice at all.
I do have a couple of questions which I'm sure have already been answered somewhere in this thread.
Regarding 100 Club Aug 76. I seem to have two different versions. I noticed that one of the discs has the date being 27th Aug. I'm guessing this typo prompted a re-doing of the artwork? Regarding the tracklisting... couple of the songs have different titles. Just wondering if the official titles are known?
Regarding The Roundhouse 5th Sept. Two different versions. Couple of songs with differing titles. Which artwork would be the correct one?
Regarding Electric Circus 9th Dec. Two versions with differing tracklistings. Not sure which is correct.
Thanks
Gary

Re: Marky Dread Remasters
I can't help on the data, but just want to say how cool it is to see Marky's wonderful artwork printed and turned into physical media like that. Thanks for sharing Spencey. A very nice tribute to Marky's incredible work.

Re: Marky Dread Remasters
I've just plonked on the headphones, opened a beer and starting with Screen on the Green.
Is this the earliest live Clash recording?
Very listenable and enjoyable recording and great to hear some new songs, although I can see why some of them weren't keepers.

Re: Marky Dread Remasters
It simply had to be done. The artwork and audio polishing is stunning. I've never seen the vast majority of the photos used for the artwork. The period correct photos and even the font is so on the money. Really digging Mark Me Absent.

Re: Marky Dread Remasters
Screen on the Green is the earliest recording, yet only their second(!) gig. For the time the quality is very good and Marky's remaster only makes it better. 1976 held some great unrecorded songs, Mark Me Absent and Medicine Cabinet (or whatever it is called) sound really good to me and could have made good songs. Now I need to go give 1976 a few more listens...

Gary, firstly I have to let you know it's "Marky" not "Markey".Spencey wrote: ↑18 Apr 2022, 10:46amFirstly, a HUGE thank you to Mr. Markey Dread for these remasters. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hope this helps.

Re: Marky Dread Remasters
Ah, sorry Marky. I meant no offence.
Thank you for the explanations. Very much appreciated. Almost done with your 1976 remasters. Wonderfully executed.

I know mate, it's all good. Just makes me smile when my name is on all the artwork and it's the name of the thread.

The Dread had me thinking Mikey. I stole his "e" and gave it to you. I get "Gerry" all the time when meeting new folk even though my name is Gary. I also get Garry a lot.
You'd think I would know better, ha.
