NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
What's a patrot? Did I misread that?
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.

It's "patrol sits watching."

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
"Patrol" is right per Heston. There are a few lyrics that don't match up exactly, but cool they used his handwritten lyrics as much as possible.BR16ADE_R055E wrote: ↑24 Sep 2018, 4:14pmDunno either. “Patrots is watchin’ newspaper’s been read” is what I hear, but doesn’t quite match his lyrics that are shown.

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
I caved in and listened. I really like it, Joe is in good voice. I can imagine it would have been even more brilliant with a sprinkling of "Straight To Hell" style guitar from Mick. Oh what could have been...

Thought that “patrol” made more sense. Does sound like it now to me. Yes, cool.matedog wrote: ↑24 Sep 2018, 4:23pm"Patrol" is right per Heston.

I heard that snippet that was released when the release was announced but haven't listened to anything since I ordered it.Heston wrote: ↑24 Sep 2018, 4:25pmI caved in and listened.

Nice I like the Bonneville 500 line. 35 bloody years too late though.

It's a fucking great drum sound and I love that fill by Pete at 3:09.

The overall sound with echo is brilliant. Now imagine the rest of CtC sounding like that with that production. It would've been great. A great stripped back sound should've been the way ahead. It beggars belief the cold turd we ended up with.

Seriously. That sound, but with some even half decent leads? Damn solid album.Marky Dread wrote: ↑24 Sep 2018, 5:12pmThe overall sound with echo is brilliant.

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
Yep. I've listened a few times now and I'm really digging this. That last jarring chord by Joe at the end is a great touch as well, not sure if he meant it though.Marky Dread wrote: ↑24 Sep 2018, 5:12pmThe overall sound with echo is brilliant.
