Posted on the Clash on Parole fb group:

Topper in 1989 with Louis Bertignac and the Visitors. They play IFTL.

Neat because this was a big gap for me in my Topper history. I thought he was driving a cab or something around this time in the throes of his addiction. Sounds great, but doesn't look so clean.
I suppose somebody must have convinced him it would be worthwhile.

Watched "Flog It" yesterday and they used the harmonica break from "Gates of the West" on a loop at one point.

Well in truth my mum was watching it and my ears pricked up at the sample.

Joe's vocals on Jimmy Jazz are really good. Especially for a non-punk song and a song with a generally different feel than your typical Clash tune, it is very strong.

This person came in with precision and was never to be seen again.

One post, nine years ago. And it wasn't some pro-Terry bullshit or something you'd expect given the username.
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.

GEER is the best Clash album
GEER is the most consistent Clash album
GEER would be perfect bar Cheapskates
GEER in fact would be the best album ever if Cheapskates didn't make an appearance.

Cheapskates ruined a perfect album. No idea why but it sounds pirate-ty to me. Can't get rid of the urge to sing yo ho ho and a bottle of rum after the first line.

Their real pirate song is the sea shanty disco of Are You Red...y..
