God Tier GEER version

Post by ZoroasterTheCat »

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.

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.

Even original GEER beats LC, but with this track list, it's a no brainer.

I have to admit, that's a great album right there. I'm thinking it could be better than LC.

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

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

Bankrobber belongs with Sandinista!

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.

In this alternate universe some of the singles would probably have been held back until after the album was released.

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. Dream on sunshine.😏

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.

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