Great work, that looks and sounds so much better. Hopefully more restoration to come.

I’ve never seen the beginning of this before - the great 77 So It Goes performance but with the end of USA at the very beginning in addition to the usual Cap Radio, Janie Jones, Name, and Garageland. Maybe there’s hope for more footage to surface some day.

Been listening to Clash City Rockers for 35 years and it wasn't until today I noticed those bell chimes every time Joe sings "bells" on the middle eight.

Oranges and lemons,
Say the bells of St. Headon.

Finally got the London Calling Scrapbook, having to order it on Amazon after waiting and waiting for it to come from the official site. One thing I noticed towards the end were a couple write-ups of the UK/US 16 Tons tour from Paul and Joe. I was really surprised to see that Broadway and Sheppard's Delight were recorded at the same time as Bankrobber/Rocker's Galore. I always thought this was a spliff bunker song from later on. I'm not exactly sure the timeframe of when Somebody Got Murdered was done, so would Broadway and Sheppard's Delight be the first two Sandinista songs?

I got the scrapbook off Amazon but still waiting for the album from the official site?? Ordered as soon as announced (I think August / September?) but don’t even have a dispatch date.
They have now stopped responding to emails

Well I suppose Bankrobber/Robber Dub/Rockers...Galore UK Tour are the first Sandinista! tracks from the sessions although not on the album. Setting the tone for Broadway and Shepherds Delight to follow.

Shit, I forgot how good City of the Dead is on FHTE. Oh to have that full Lewisham gig on at least audio.

This pretty disappointing after waiting for 4 months the official merchandise site can’t supply their own merchandise?

Is it available thru regular retailers, like Amazon Kiwi or something like that? Less great to give them a cut, but better than you being shut out altogether.

Yes definitely, I was just trying to do the right thing.

You missed the core lesson: the Clash will always fuck you for your ideals.
