Re: Clash City Showdown Revisited?
I would obviously pay a lot of money to hear this. Good comedy albums are thin on the ground.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Maybe it's a banger dub album...

It's basically a 20-minute version of "Listen," but just the bass.

Re: Clash City Showdown Revisited?
The Paul album is true. I asked him about it in 1984 and he said he got too busy to finish it. But seeing as how he was working with Mikey Dread on it and Mikey fell out with the Clash for a while, that's probably another possibility. Or maybe it sucked and Stiff didn't want to release it is another possibility.
I do think it's interesting that Paul wasn't contractually bound to CBS though.

I've heard tell there's another Mick mix out there that is more finished than the circulated version but you have to know the handshake to hear it.Heston wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 6:00pmI'm on to the section about Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg and Chris mentions he doesn't think the version we all know was Mick's final mix. That it was a "work in progress" copy. I've always thought this too due to the sloppy vocals (I'm thinking especially Ghetto Defendant and Know your Rights) and wondered if it was ever confirmed this was what Mick presented to the record company as the finished article?

Re: Clash City Showdown Revisited?
When Sound System came out I was expecting to hear better versions of Kill Time and Beautiful People but they were just the same mixes that we always had. And Joe's guide-like vocal was still present on the extended Ghetto Defendant. This made me wonder if it actually was the finished thing after all.IkarisOne wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 7:47pmI've heard tell there's another Mick mix out there that is more finished than the circulated version but you have to know the handshake to hear it.Heston wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 6:00pmI'm on to the section about Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg and Chris mentions he doesn't think the version we all know was Mick's final mix.

Re: Clash City Showdown Revisited?
I love the section on the Cost of Living EP, agree with every word.
Imagine losing the three weakest songs on London Calling (for me Lover's Rock, Four Horsemen and Revolution Rock) and replacing them with GotW, Groovy Times and I Fought the Law? You'd have an absolute beast of an album on your hands.

Re: Clash City Showdown Revisited?
It's possible, but it's also possible that Mick is sitting on his mix because he's still sore about the Glyn Johns business. If so, I get it.Heston wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 8:25pmWhen Sound System came out I was expecting to hear better versions of Kill Time and Beautiful People but they were just the same mixes that we always had.
