London Calling 40th Anniversary Scrapbook, Etc. Pre-orders

[Marky Dread]

The above were a supplement in the NME to celebrate the 25th anniversary release. The centrefold was too big for me to scan as one.

Were they taken from The Clash: Before & After book by Pennie Smith? I had this when it came out and somehow misplaced it pretty soon after.

I can't remember if they are all in Before & After. Most definitely are and they are Pennies pictures.

A different promo video here. I have been searching for this for ages to post as part of this anniversary and finally found it last night (not down the back of my sofa). The late, great Montgomery Spliffed made this video from a post Carbon Silicon show chat with Mick, talking about the 25th anniversary release with the Vanilla Tapes. Monty does a great job (as he always did) + MJ is in fine form. A bit of fun, I hope you all enjoy it.

Here it is;

No problem, pleased to have found it.

I just ordered it from importcds.com for $49.99 US. Shipping to Canada $6.99, total $56.98 before conversion rate to $CDN.
This is the cheapest I've seen so far.....

I pre-ordered the scrapbook in August and recently ordered the vinyl replica 2-CD version because I couldn’t find it at Amoeba or Rasputin.

I'm happy for people who love to collect everything the band releases. But this new release offers very little for me so I'll be giving it a miss.

...and by "giving it a miss" what I really mean is ...yep I bought it today. Marky Dread working for the clampdown nope heading for the breakdown. The scrapbook is great.

Any kind of special crap that Wire or Swans put out, I don't even hesitate. I throw out all common sense.

You're going to sell me the same fish that I caught yesterday? Okay I'll vote for you.

Has it arrived already?
I ordered the LP when the offer first came out and haven’t heard anything since
Can you review the scrapbook I might add to my Xmas list ( which means buy myself a Xmas present I want).

I'm crap at reviews but it has a lot of draft lyrics. I think there are maybe 3-4 versions of London Calling with the first draft being titled "Ice Age" that gives a great insight to Joe's writing process. The "heading for a breakdown" in my post above was a reference to the original title of "Working for the Clampdown". Not too many new pictures but lots of ephemera of the era. All in all I think it's a nice edition to anyone's Clash collection. The cd itself (which I've yet to play) might be superfluous though.

I just checked and I bought the LP in August but don’t even have a shipping date???
Did you buy through the Clash merchandise website?
