The July issue of Mojo magazine has a small write-up of this, along with a picture!
Did screen shots and pasted it together. Picture separately.

From what I see there's still a little hope

I'm pretty sure it's Pat Gilbert. A more objective eye may have been better.KCportland wrote: ↑30 May 2022, 10:42pmDidn't Kris Needs write this?

And I can't hear this "He Who Dares is an early version of Car Jamming" thing, they have totally different chord progressions and beats.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Oh yeah, you're right. Gilbert is still on the payroll though, shouldn't have been allowed near it.

"On triple vinyl!" to wrap up his review, wow.. that's bad editorial to allow that to get published.

Needs also mentions Clash On Broadway being released in 1999, which is eight years out.KCportland wrote: ↑31 May 2022, 1:30amOh yeah, you're right.

Sad watching the hangers on. Kosmo was allowed off his leash and interviewed somewhere big recently.

Edit: Actually thinking about it now, Gilbert writing that review for Mojo is worse than Needs doing it. Gilbert's become the in-house biographer for the last decade plus.

"He Who Dares is an early version of Car Jamming", I really think not, rather a basic track rehearsal for "Hitsville U.K."

Re: Combat Rock 40th anniversary reissue coming soon?
I think it's neither. It just seems to be a backing track for a new song which was discarded. It's the same rhythmically to Hitsville but totally different chords. And it was recorded at least a year after that song.

Yeah I doubt very much Mick would be reworking a Sandinista! track.

The article also refers to including a previously unreleased demo version of Sean Flynn, but it is the Sound System version?
