God Tier GEER version
Is as follows:
Safe European Home
Complete Control
English Civil War
Tommy Gun
White Man In Hammersmith Palais
I fought the Law
Pressure Drop
Gates of the West
Capital Radio
Groovy Times
Guns on the Roof
Stay Free
Cheapskates
All the Young Punks
Arguably better than London Calling. Sorry.

Re: God Tier GEER version
I agree that's a fantastic album, though a bit of a stretch to packet CC in with GEER, whatever about the CoL tracks. I'd still have LC myself, though I've no doubt you'll get a few takers.ZoroasterTheCat wrote: ↑19 Jun 2022, 11:01amIs as follows:

Re: God Tier GEER version
Even original GEER beats LC, but with this track list, it's a no brainer.

Re: God Tier GEER version
I have to admit, that's a great album right there. I'm thinking it could be better than LC.

Re: God Tier GEER version
Tom knows what's up. GEER is already god tier, but I'll say this is a pretty tasty tracklist
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Re: God Tier GEER version
Could you not also have a God tier LC version including the CoL tracks and Bankrobber?

Re: God Tier GEER version
Arguably NOT better than LC as that's a genuine album and not a compilation.
9 tracks on your so called GEER version were released as singles Hardly VFM.

Yeah, of course. And I don't actually think CoL does either fwiw.Marky Dread wrote: ↑19 Jun 2022, 6:26pmBankrobber belongs with Sandinista!Low Down Low wrote: ↑19 Jun 2022, 6:24pmCould you not also have a God tier LC version including the CoL tracks and Bankrobber?

Re: God Tier GEER version
In this alternate universe some of the singles would probably have been held back until after the album was released.Marky Dread wrote: ↑19 Jun 2022, 6:28pmArguably NOT better than LC as that's a genuine album and not a compilation.

Re: God Tier GEER version
Some maybe. But the whole ethos of The Clash was not to put too many singles on albums. So let's say in your alternate universe they kept two for the album you now have seven less for the tracklisting.

Re: God Tier GEER version
The CoL EP was partially started at the automat with Sandy Pearlman. But what we know and love was recorded with Bill Price at Wessex and I personally feel the style of those tracks are better suited to LC.Low Down Low wrote: ↑19 Jun 2022, 6:41pmYeah, of course.

Anyway I expect ZoroasterTheCat is just CK in his Iranian Prophet guise.
