No it's a Beatles "Penny Lane" reference.

I second all of this.KCportland wrote: ↑14 May 2021, 1:10amI was listening to my Rat Patrol mix in the car on Tuesday, opining that I'd probably never get to hear these mixes in better quality. Two days later, well, I've about died and gone to heaven. Inoculated City in all it's glory, the holy grail. So nice hearing all the samples clearly, and the space-echo'd guitars finally have some definition!!
But Car Jamming??? This is unbelievable. What an incredible version! The sliced and diced guitar cutting across the mix, criss-crossing drones and samples. This is just eons ahead of it's time. Mick, you genius.
If this makes the rounds among fans, maybe it puts a little pressure on The Clash camp to get an official version out there. If not, I'm okay with that. This is fantastic.
"Sean Flynn" which isn't on the acetate is the track that really captures a feel for me. You can literally feel the heat dripping from the trees in that track.WestwayKid wrote: ↑14 May 2021, 11:14amWow. I caught this thread on my way out of work yesterday, but did not look or listen until today. This is quite the find. Rat Patrol has long been my Holy Grail of lost recordings.
There is something amazing about Rat Patrol. It has this hazy, druggy, heat shimmering vibe to it. The music is hip. They were light years already from Janie Jones. Totally fearless and unhinged (in a good way). Combat Rock was like the Beach Boys' Smiley Smile. It retained some of the feel of the lost Smile LP, but it was an incomplete picture. It was playing it safe instead of taking the big risk.

I’ve never heard a song that puts me into the Vietnam War more than that one. I feel like I can see the jungle when I close my eyes listening to it. And on Straight to Hell, I can visualize Joe recording that right before New Years. His story about recording that makes the song even better to me.Marky Dread wrote: ↑14 May 2021, 12:15pm"Sean Flynn" which isn't on the acetate is the track that really captures a feel for me.

Brilliant tracks both. Nothing on Cut the Crap comes close.River wrote: ↑14 May 2021, 12:49pmI’ve never heard a song that puts me into the Vietnam War more than that one.

Same here. The one-two of it and STH being on the same LP make me want to eat a bunch of quaaludes and sit back for the ride.Marky Dread wrote: ↑14 May 2021, 12:15pm"Sean Flynn" which isn't on the acetate is the track that really captures a feel for me.

I was going to mention Car Jamming earlier too. It's not crazy different, but the lower guitar boosts the moodiness and all the dropouts point back to reggae without being a reggae song. True fusion achieved here.KCportland wrote: ↑14 May 2021, 1:10amI was listening to my Rat Patrol mix in the car on Tuesday, opining that I'd probably never get to hear these mixes in better quality.
