Bloody scrapbook. We want Lewisham, audio or video! The exhibition sounds great though.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

No super-bloated box this time. But likely something special from the archives film-wise next year.

I could be wrong, but was some of that footage new? I don't remember seeing some of that stuff from Bonds, unless it's just a cleaner quality now.

You love to hear it! Always salivate for footage.

Entirely possible. They’re working on that footage. We’re hoping for something major to come out of it.

Just got an email about upcoming LC releases


When The Clash’s third album 'London Calling' was released in the winter of 1979, it was clear that the band had made an instant classic.

To celebrate this truly London album, the Museum of London will showcase a collection of items from The Clash’s personal archive including draft lyrics, stage clothes, photos and films, giving new insight into their recording process and the making of London Calling.

The Clash: London Calling, which includes previously unseen items, is a free exhibit, opening on 15th November running to Spring 2020.

As well as Paul’s iconic broken Fender Precision Bass he smashed on stage at The Palladium in New York City in 1979, you’ll be able to see Topper’s drum sticks, Mick 's handwritten sequence note and Joe’s notebook from the period when the album was rehearsed and recorded and more.
Mick Jones' handwritten track listing for London Calling
Also on 15th November, Sony will release the London Calling Scrapbook - a 120-page hardback companion which comes with the album on CD and contains hand-written lyrics, notes, photos and previously unseen material from the period when the record was made.

Prior to this, on 11th October 2019 in line with National Album Day, Sony Music will issue the London Calling album, on CD, vinyl and cassette, in a special sleeve highlighting the layers of the iconic artwork by Ray Lowry with photography by Pennie Smith.
Pre-order the London Calling Scrapbook or London Calling on CD, LP or cassette now.
