IMHO some of her album is better than the vast majority of Sandinista! & I class it more of a Clash album than CTC.
It looks like you're missing one version! The regular UK LP, which has the lettering on the front moved away from the photo, into the white border:

I saw a really nice copy of this LP at Reckless Records in Chicago 2 weeks ago and I almost bought it (think it was $9.99), but ultimately passed it up in favor of something else. Only reason I saw it was because they had it filed with the Clash.

That will be because he gave it to me! I better bring it back next time I visit.
That's the one I've got. And a download of the CD. It doesn't get many plays.

OK. 9/10

(one point deducted for not having a promo copy of that LP.
Which I have.
Added Clash points to me, for buying it on Portobello market. For 50p!)

That may officially be a crazy number of copies of SoSL.
...and a crazy opinion, classing it as better than most of Sandinista! :shifty:

some of it is better than most of Sandinista!
You better not be referring to Side 6! *rolls up sleeves but really hopes nothing will come of it*
Not specifically side 6 - each side has at least one or two duff songs on it so there is plenty of crap to choose from.

Six actually.
That’s is serious collecting for a Clash offshoot!
How big is your Clash collection?
You will need to ask my curator. :approve:

This is basically true, tho I don't share your affection for SoSL.

Okay.
I’m glad my obsessive collecting is limited to 2 Tone. With The Clash I just have at least one of everything (or 2 in the case of BMC CD / vinyl).
Just the CD of SOSL.

Let me know what you are still looking for in terms of 2 Tone & I will keep an eye out for you.
