I know that there are some inherent flaws throughout Earthquake Weather, but damn it I wish someone would have been there to tighten up the flab and produce it better. And burn every tape used for Boogie With Your Children.Heston wrote:It's a Rockin' World

Re: Wilderness Years - vote your top 3
I still think a remixed and remastered deluxe release of Earthquake Weather is one of the great opportunities open to the Legacy imprint to put out there. I get that we always try to check ourselves on how much currency Joe and The Clash really have in the wider world, but there's no way they couldn't figure out how to make a reissue of The First Joe Strummer Solo Album worth it - way more obscure artists get the remix/deluxe treatment.

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.

I'm with Wolter on IH and MB.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I've studied the phenomenon of neo-provincialism in self-isolating online communities but this place takes the fucking cake.

Yep, my biggest gripe with this album has always been the awful sound.

Re: Wilderness Years - vote your top 3
I just updated mine. Forgot how much I love "Nothin' Bout Nothin"
And I was just registering to Cholo Vest. I still adore it, but it's just not quite what I'd pick as a best of.
