I want a full review by this evening/morning
Packaging is top notch. I’ve listened to both CD’s and the tracks sound great. Highlights for me were most of CD2 especially Pouring Rain which is a new version and is as great as the other two (the WhenPigs Flyversion is also on here but much cleaner version as is other tracks from WPF).
The Pearl Harbour track is real country which isn’t usually my thing but I really like it. The Cool Impossible is great track.
London Is Burning is better than albumverdion and is Minstrel Boy which has vocals but I’m sure isn’t BHD version?

Someone on trust pilot got their money back...
A lot of disgruntled posts in the last couple of days...This is the important bit - I got all my money back through contacting my bank ( I'd paid by Visa Debit card) and completing the Chargeback forms they emailed. It only took a couple of weeks. The Chargeback facility is also used by credit card companies. However small the amount you are out of pocket - do it! It's your hard-earned cash.

I have some friends in Whitley Bay, I'm gonna do some digging around.

It's actually a decent way to get some proper Clash II stuff out there without disturbing the precious Clash legacy, just call it a Joe Strummer solo release. I'll take it.Carpentologist wrote: ↑26 Sep 2018, 11:26pmThis is as exciting a time to be a Joe Strummer fan as I can remember and I note with particular interest that the Cut The Crap material is included!

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
Cheers John that's appreciated. I wasn't aware of them treating people so badly until after my purchase when Whiteman mentioned they had been sticthing people up. I read about half and half good / bad reviews at the time so was hoping to be lucky but it appears they have done a runner.Heston wrote: ↑27 Sep 2018, 2:00pmTwats!Marky Dread wrote: ↑27 Sep 2018, 1:18pmLucky you.

I will contact my bank in the morning to see if there is any chance of getting my dough back. Normally I wouldn't be so bothered but as I'm currently unemployed I can't afford to lose the money and the Dept. Work & Pensions don't give out money for Joe box sets.

According to online reports people have found a doorway between two shops that appears to belong to a cafe when they check out the address. Maybe your mate will have better luck, and seriously much appreciated for your and your mates help.Heston wrote: ↑27 Sep 2018, 2:33pmI've already got a mate who works in Whitley Bay to check if the shop outlet is still trading tomorrow.

Even the Letsgetabitarockin demo sounds fresh.

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
For some reason I thought Over The Border was At The Border. Obviously it isn’t and is a track I have never heard before?
