This is England
Three Card Trick
North and South
Movers and Shakers (though the lyrics are dumb)
Are You Red...Y. (maybe)

That's a third of a maybe semi-decent Clash album in theory and, for me, nowhere near as good as the five best songs in the so oft-criticized Combat Rock, plus the filler is much worse. There's no specificity in the lyrics to the several other songs that are just sloganeering. I was surprised at the time Joe couldn't do better.
I get the sense he regretted sacking Mick almost immediately and tried to slog forward without having his heart in it.

I dig it! Get some vocals on it by EET WEEK.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Is there a digital version of this rather than vinyl?

Cool. Sounds a bit like Rancid. Maybe they should have covered We Are the Clash.

Yeah they should call it "We Want to be the Clash".
