That's why my remaster with all the demos etc was called "All the Peacemakers" as it was the working title for GEER. Also a lyric from "Police & Thieves" of course.
London Calling was originally titled The New Testament.

Thanks. Seems odd to me name an album after a significant lyric in a song (that is a cover) on your previous album.Toppers Boppers wrote: ↑07 Jun 2019, 12:11pmIt was the title until they switched it to GEER. I didn't know that at the time, but it's in one of the Clash or Strummer biogs. Pretty neat alt title for the music IMHO.
In August, Pearlman invited Joe and Mick to San Francisco’s Automat Studios on downtown Folsom Street for final overdubs on the album now called All The Peacemakers (after a line in Police And Thieves).

Well a peacemaker is also a gun. So maybe that fitted well with some of the song titles on the album.101Walterton wrote: ↑07 Jun 2019, 5:36pmThanks.

Well, they cover different albums - Combat Ready is all about Combat Rock not London Calling.
See, I like the in-depth biog type stuff but I'll probably give it a go.JohnS wrote: ↑13 Jun 2019, 6:58pmWell, they cover different albums - Combat Ready is all about Combat Rock not London Calling.
And it's a similar style to the Peacemakers book, i.e. lots of brief chapters/essays, and lots of pictures of ads, various record covers etc, more suitable for dipping into at various chapters; unlike Route 19 which is a more traditional 'biography' type book.
So... it doesn't really compare at all
Same, route 19 one of my fave Clash books.Heston wrote: ↑13 Jun 2019, 7:03pmSee, I like the in-depth biog type stuff but I'll probably give it a go.JohnS wrote: ↑13 Jun 2019, 6:58pmWell, they cover different albums - Combat Ready is all about Combat Rock not London Calling.

Got it today too, he definitely hasn't skimped on the contents! Lots of badges, flyers etc with it too, like the first two.JohnS wrote: ↑17 Jul 2021, 11:41amIt sneaked under the radar a bit, but Tim Satchwell's done a third book, this time covering the first album!
It's £30 plus £10 postage, but is bigger than the other books (got mine today, it's like an old fashioned phone directory and weighs a ton)

I'm interested but I hope it makes its way over to the US for distribution because the shipping alone from his website is about $50 US.laxman wrote: ↑17 Jul 2021, 11:50amGot it today too, he definitely hasn't skimped on the contents!
