Have you read my version of the Bible?
Yes, and funny as it is, no, Judas did not betray Jesus for a copy of Lewisham. Like, c'mon, it hadn't even happened yet!
Think you read between the lines there. It was 20 copies of Shea.

I was just browsing through my live Clash shows and realized Marky Dread put a copy of this in his remaster for this particular show.
If you look closely at the red writing top right you'll notice the date is actually wrong and then check my remaster again and see that I've corrected it. 😉
I saw that the set list included in your version had been renamed to reflect a date correction, but I'd still love to own this piece of history!
It's cool.

Judas was definitely a Terry guy.

I do wish we could get hold of the whole Electric Lady session. They were doing a lot of cool stuff, and Mick was even overdubbing lead. All I have is the short video clips I shot there, and I've posted. Mick doesn't have anything either. I'm on good terms with Fred, but don't think it's up to him to leak any, as it wasn't him who paid for the promotion (that was "Funny or Die"), and he might not have any extra as he wasn't who edited it. It may have been the last time (for now) that Paul and Mick actually had any fun promoting the Clash.

In 2018, I asked Fred if he would bring back the Ian Rubbish character. He said no, “I like to move on.” We’ll see.

Was driving around Oakland and saw this today. Fairly intimidating.

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.

Yeah this sits nicely next to their article rating all the Oasis albums. So punk.

I think I'd put "The Clash" first because it was such an amazing, ground breaking release, "London Calling" second (tough one because it too was a great, groundbreaking album as well) then the remainder I'm in agreement on.
