What ever happened to......

Post by In A Rut »

What happened to the release mentioned in this BBC news story? Anyone else remember hearing about this?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/4707943.stm
A CD and green vinyl record of an early Strummer tune, a folk number called Crummy Bum Blues, along with an interview he gave at the Glastonbury Festival the summer before his death, will be released by Mr Frame later this year to benefit young homeless musicians in Newport.

Joe Strummer
Strummer formed the Mescaleros after The Clash broke up
The recording is rough and ready, but Strummer's distinctive growl was clear when it was played outside the house at the unveiling of the plaque: "Joe Strummer lived here 1974."

Yeah, I'd been wondering about that myself. Now there's an archival release I'd love to get.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
