EET week is on us, rejoice or repent

[Heston]

Dictator has to be the most EET song of 83-85 period. The Cut the Crap version is the end and the beginning. I'm listening now with headphones and it's unlike anything I've ever heard. It continues to astound. Joe is saying something under the second chorus, but it's probably the second most quiet thing on the track behind the bass. There is so much to it, I can never let it go.

His adlibs are just wild on this track too.

The first comment on YouTube sums it up...

"It sounds like I have 3 YouTube Windows open at once"

Am I the only person who thinks the chorus for Play To Win is pretty decent? They just needed a song to hang it on rather than a Space Invaders game.

I can still remember my feelings of utter bewilderment & shock when I first heard Dictator. Like Heston (?) at first I thought that there was a problem with the actual vinyl itself or my record player.

In fact I recall that moment more that any other first vinyl play of the Clash.

I am still dumbfounded by the experience - yet over the years the song seduces me to play it every blue moon to check that I didn't imagine it.

Yes it was me who thought the record was fucked. This was the Clash album I'd been waiting for for 2 years. I got into them just as Mick was sacked when I heard Should I Stay on the pub jukebox where we used to play underage pool. Over the next few months I bought all their records. This Is England/Do It Now had seemed a decent lead off single so imagine my horror when I heard Dictator. I kept cleaning the needle and putting it back on to no avail.

Cut the Crap is the only Clash album I heard first on vinyl, and I kept trying to adjust the speed because it absolutely didn’t sound right.

The more I listen, the more I enjoy.

It's the greatest album ever made and I personally made it better. Without me this world would be nothing!

If that cd is Cut the Crap, you're not sweetening the tea.

[101Walterton]

I think this year I will give CTC a listen.

It's a special two track cd.

1. How Chairman Mao invented punk.
2. How Chairman Mao stole his best ideas from Bernie.
