GEER info :
It's Dennis Ferrante not Ferranti as on the GEER sleeve and the CoL EP.
Also it's Chris Minto and not Mingo.
The version of Garageland from the Rude Boy movie that is made to look like it's Rehearsal Rehearsals is actually Black Hole Rehearsal studios, London.

Re: The Clash Studio Logs/Sessionography
Thanks MD. I'll update accordingly, though I won't include the instrumental and "no backing vocals" as they are the same songs as the vocal versions.Marky Dread wrote: ↑27 Jan 2020, 4:00pmThere are more tracks from the Mickey Foote produced Beaconsfield session from Jan '77.

I'll add the April 77 Beaconsfield ones as well (eventhough London's Burning is a "live" b-side).
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.
Re: The Clash Studio Logs/Sessionography
I think I made all the changes noted in the previous page. One thing, on Return of Last Gang, they mention the filming was in Dunstable. That's not the same as Beaconsfield, right?Marky Dread wrote: ↑27 Jan 2020, 4:00pm

Re: The Clash Studio Logs/Sessionography
Beaconsfield is about 40-45 mins drive away from Dunstable. It's always confused me and I've never been certain if it's a mistake. The Mickey Foote demos were recorded at Beaconsfield film school so it would make sense to me that the promos were filmed there.matedog wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 12:54amI think I made all the changes noted in the previous page.

Re: The Clash Studio Logs/Sessionography
The Complete Clash (pag. 247) says Dunstable 17 April 1977. London's Burning (live) has become the B-Side of Remote Control, so the first official recording of Topper Headon.
Music is the only thing that matters

Yes Toppers first official recording.
I would love more info on Dunstable. Like where in Dunstable exactly which venue. All the info I've ever seen just says CBS promo film, Dunstable.

"Groovy Times Are Here Again"
Recorded at Utopia studios May '78. This is the rough sounding demo which I think is Pearlman.
I agree with CK that Gates of the West and Groovy Times sound very much like Pearlman productions in the vein of Blue Oyster Cult. Then they were finished of (mixed) by Bill Price at Wessex Sound, Highbury, London.

Re: The Clash Studio Logs/Sessionography
(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais.
Two versions the official 7" single and the RAR version.
Both versions are the same backing track with different vocal takes.
You have it listed as February 1978 CBS studios.
But I think it was part of the Marquee sessions originally from March 1978 that was produced by Mick Jones and using Simon Humphrey as the engineer.
Then the second vocal take that is the single version produced with Pearlman in April.

Re: The Clash Studio Logs/Sessionography
Yeah, but it’s also likely that they cut “Ooh Baby Ooh” with Sandy, and then when it didn’t make the short list for GEER, wrote the new “Gates” lyric and cut the new vocals with Bill. No idea where “Rusted Chrome” fits into this, perhaps Joe’s first attempt at a new lyric for the riff, maybe to try at the Automatt?Marky Dread wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 3:20pm"Groovy Times Are Here Again"
