[laxman]

A big thank you to Marky. My version didn't have the artwork, it is just a plain black sleeve.

Does it have that cool sticker on it? Or is it the generic Epic label one?

[Dr. Medulla]

I'm giving this a quick listen on headphones and... this mix and master may put this cut at a top three Clash song for me now. Absolute slayage.

That was my reaction, too. I've never thought about TCU as upper upper echelon Clash, but this mix makes me think it's inner circle, for both content and execution.

Just the generic label, no sticker. I got it when it originally came out so HMV or some other store must have had it on import from the States, I don't remember sending off for it.

Indeed. I'm going to need a bigger hard drive.
Thanks to Marky and laxman for getting this Call Up mix out there, and for all discussing it in the other thread.
I had no idea it existed, ether.

I have always loved TCU. I really like it's melancholy feel. That line "there is a rose..." get's me everytime. Not sure it's a top 3 but it's really solid. And yes this mix is vastly superior. I always wonder if the band had more time withSandinista! then other tracks would've been better executed.

Yeah, there's this strange mix of call to action and resignation. Paradoxical, but it captures the essence of nuclear anxiety.

Yes that's it perfectly. "They gladly marched off to die" sums up all the sadness and the so called honour attached to defending a belief.

Ta Mark(y). Rubbish attempt at a drive joke.

Yeah, I've always loved the lyrics for all those reasons and the concept is quite clever, but it always felt a bit limp. This definitely fixes that.

Really quite delightful to still discover new ways for the clash to thrill after all this time.

A nod to KCPortland too for bringing this all up in the first place.
