Quick question: Am I imagining this or did Paul sing Police On My Back at some Clash II live shows?
The January/February US tour has Paul singing POMB in what has to be the worst live performance by The Clash ever. I swore Rattie had it on his soundcloud, but I'm not seeing it ( Can't find it on youtube, but the San Francisco show has probably the best sound quality of it.
God damn it, why is that his default track?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Thanks. A shame it's not there on his page, could have done with a chuckle.

According to Keith Topping (The complete Clash book) Time is Tight was recorded at Marquee Studios in March 1978.
I was gonna guess at the marquee sessions, I think that's correct.
What else was done at these sessions? Timeline suggests GEER, but it's produced by The Clash, not Perlman?

Got it. Not sure why I had such a brain fart assuming GEER single b-sides were also from GEER sessions.

Good question I can’t remember who did it but it wasn’t long ago?
There were several threads I think it was done either by year or album?
