Combat Rock 40th anniversary reissue coming soon?

He Who Dares Or Is Tired....worst Clash outtake ever?

Is Outside Bonds an actual outtake? If so, that’s so much worse. I think He Who Dares has potential and at least isn’t inundated with horribly dated synths like a lot of stuff from those sessions.

Outside Bonds are just sound bites.

I like "He Who Dares" for what is.

I bought one of those waterproof tv set's but sadly I broke it when I realised I hadn't filled up the swimming pool. Still it did at least remain dry.

I do like that as short as the article is it does manage to remind readers there's an original mix of the album out there, and you don't get to hear it. Thanks, guys.

 “In England people were like, ‘Oh fuck, The Clash have sold out’

What "people" would that be then Don?

The same people that bought it in droves and sent it to number two in the charts. You know the actual "people" that really matter.

Or journalists. Or perhaps some old punk rockers too stuck in their ways to accept change.

Oh those people.

It's worth saying again. It's hardly a sell out commercial album! Side 2 was like being bogged down in a Vietnamese swamp when I first heard it.

I means what I means. And that's what matters.

Far from it. Those new to the band that bought the two big singles that both reached 17 in the UK charts must've had a bit of a shock if they then ventured to buy the album expecting more of the same.

How many times were they reputed to have sold out? Combat Rock and signing to CBS and remember Mick fielding the SO question at the US Festival. Thats 3 anyway but I'm sure there were more.

hmmmm....
-signing to cbs
-releasing the "overly polished" GEER
-caring about touring america and breaking into the american market
-releasing london calling
-releasing combat rock, and its singles
-whenever one of their songs turns up in a commercial

Casbah only reached 30 in the charts on initial release so hardly pop glory in their homeland.

The famous line from the Bonds interview by Mick "When you've sold all the tickets that constitutes a sell out".

But in reality they sold out once Joe left the 101ers.

Love Micks delivery on that, almost as good as the time he told Tony Parsons he'd be a turncoat cock, or words along those lines anyway!
