Acton Town Hall reissue

I’ll buy this to encourage more releases but the Marky version is pretty great.

Not very clued up on these things, but seemed to me they pushed 002 pretty hard so i think that was a good sign they have the faith. And noticed Joe was up in the uk charts, singles and album, at the time, though the real significance of that these times, i wouldn't have a clue.

Out of interest what track made the singles chart? I haven't looked at the charts in over a decade.

Actually had to check this and turns out i got it a bit confused. Joe was indeed in the singles chart late last year, but it was with Rock the Casbah so nothing to do with 002 or the Mescaleros at all. As to why Casbah was back in the charts, top 10 at that, I've no idea. Maybe featured in some blockbuster tv show, as with that Kate Bush track that went to No.1?

Ah ok mate thanks for clearing that up. Hadn't heard of a reissue of "Casbah" so I'm guessing some kind of download only thing perhaps.

Perhaps the ranking Roger 7inch?

Just been looking at the Strummer catalogue on dark horse, nothing has sold out which I find strange...why do you think this is? Streaming/people aren't interested anymore? Poor publicity perhaps? I just hope it doesn't grind to halt and they stop bringing stuff out...003 sounds very promising and I for one will be buying it if it happens

Have they mentioned what's likely to be on 003?

Joe and some other geezers singing around a campfire. Outtakes from the Black Grape sessions and a remix of Boogie with Your Children.

I hope those rock n roll covers get a release.

I'd buy it!

I'd buy it, and I'm listening to Marky's mastering (thanks again, Marky!) to commemorate Joe's birthday.

Cheers mate. Yep feels like a long time gone now. But never forgotten.

FInally got to listen to this thing, it's pretty balls-out huh? The only thing missing is a performance of Global A Go-Go, but that Shaktar sounds great.
