Jus a bit easier reading it this way up.

It sure looks like Paul was to be included. As it mentions a tape dub for him to listen to.

Haha, I don’t know why it went sideways, thanks for that!

I found this interesting, on the envelope that the “This Is England/ Before We Go Forward” single is on there are some notes from the Sid and Nancy sessions that say “ write bass, teach to Paul”?!
Anyone know anything of Paul Simonon being involved or planned to be at any stage?

I heard the "new"version of Bang Bang and was not impressed, I'm not sure David would have approved. It's pretty lame. I'm not sure anything can save that album or anything from the new box. Yeah, I’ve heard the album...some of the shit songs are better, but some the good songs are worse! Never Let...

Weird about Love Kills, since Mick both played guitar and sang. Also the track is credited to E.T., who engineered it for Mick, who was originally producing as well. When Joe decided he wasn’t satisfied with what was done, he hired Tom Lord-Alge to remix it. Anyway, I didn’t know Joe could play gui...

One does wonder why they didn’t just push Joe up in the mix?
Perhaps he and Mick laid down the vocal track together around the same mic?

Now that the long awaited anthology has arrived, what more do people expect/anticipate in the future? For me it sort of serves as a taster of just how much material exists from the various sessions/sources that took place during the “Wilderness Years!” At the very least I’d be expecting an Earthquak...

What’s the 7” version of This Is England/ Before We Go Forward like? Until my box is delivered I’ve only got the iTunes version... It is different and brilliant Is it closer lyrically to the CTC version or Where Is England/ Chekoslavic Song? Ok so the version Laxman posted is the one on the vinyl /...

With the release of Joe Strummer 001 it seems a line has been drawn and that The Clash catalogue officially ends with Combat Rock! The Stalinist revision of history continues and you know what? I don’t mind... Warner/Chappell owning the publishing rights to CTC material means they’re treating it as ...

TRASH CITY SOUNDS ENORMOUS!!!
