I'd just like to get as much as I can. Live material, wilderness-years releases (hopefully remixed and) remastered, previously unreleased studio material, whatever. And whatever happened to those pre-101ers recordings that surfaced a couple years back? I remember they were being prepped for release but I don't think it ever happened.
Is this Flaming Youth or Vultures tracks? What pre 101ers stuff do you speak of o' wise Flexmaster.

Yeah, the Vultures: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/3917169.stm

The first part was of Bumble-Bee Blues was played on some bbc documentary or another. The full version of that and the instrumental track would seem to be pretty key pieces to put on any box set.

Ahh yes I had forgotten all about that. I agree this would indeed be a key piece of a forthcoming box set.

I agree, it should definitely be on the anthology set. Someone should contact the organizer for the Hellcat compilation to see if it's possible to get them on there.

And wasn't Bumble-Bee Blues played in Viva Joe Strummer in the part where Tymon was talking about how he first taught Joe how to play guitar (I may be mixing this up with that simple Indian folk tune, you'll see what I'm talking about if you watch the part I'm talking about)? Or I think it was in TFIU where Joe talks about the Vultures being kicked out and pelted with beer bottles after barely playing a few numbers. I think it was in that one actually, 'cause I remember seeing the song in the credits of TFIU and wondering why it wasn't on the soundtrack for the film.

Yeah, that's it. I remembered it was about rain too.

Unrelated to Joe, but related to Horace Andy...

There's a Horace Andy LP called "At Wackies" that you folks need to get now-ish. So goddamn good.

Recorded in the Wackies label studio in the Bronx, NYC. The first reggae studio and label in the USA.

Yes! I was just tonight thinking about that alleged nine hours. A pristine version of the leaked OST itself would be a beautiful treasure, too.
