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 love Sandpaper Blues but no one ever mentions it. I also totally love Evil Darling, even more so since we worked out the lyrics.

Re: Strummer Deep Cuts
Yalla Yalla is the best song on X Ray. That towers over even most of the Clash discography.
Re: Strummer Deep Cuts
Hoyston. Probably this and X-Ray Style are my two favs.

Do you skip past Straight to Hell so you can get to Overpowered by Funk?

I can hear the STH vibe in Yalla, but no, it just never grabbed me.

Yeah, it doesn't have the mood shifts of and instrumental finesse of STH, not in the same league for me.
