Bought the scrapbook from Amazon101Walterton wrote: ↑16 Nov 2019, 8:21pmI just checked and I bought the LP in August but don’t even have a shipping date???Marky Dread wrote: ↑16 Nov 2019, 5:31pmI'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.101Walterton wrote: ↑16 Nov 2019, 3:34pmHas it arrived already?Marky Dread wrote: ↑16 Nov 2019, 11:09am...and by "giving it a miss" what I really mean is ...yep I bought it today.

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.
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).
Did you buy through the Clash merchandise website?
