Re: Clashing again
When i listen to the Clash its usually sandinista(thank god for the ss-remaster), sbmc (now pretty much replaced by Soundsystem Extras #2) or selected live stuff like Chaos in NY. I Always come back to those and its still an exciting listen.
The Sound System remaster made me apreciate geer a lot more, because i only had a terrible old CD Version.apart from the obvious crackers its still the most un-interesting Clash Album for me

Yes! Now for a few evening courses at your local University for some Strummer dialect lessons.

Agreed. It sounds very weak compared to GEER.Heston wrote: ↑03 Nov 2017, 11:51amI'm not a fan of the production on White Man, I think it's a bit tinny.Marky Dread wrote: ↑03 Nov 2017, 11:36amStick your GEER flag up yer pole.

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.
Re: Clashing again
Don’t get your hopes up for the live cuts. They are basically unmixed and have all sorts of level issues. Even the ones that were released on Clash on Broadway and FHTE are far worse in this package.

Re: Clashing again
That was hard to fathom considering the care that went into everything else.

If I remember correctly, Teddy said the inclusion of live tracks was an after thought.Heston wrote: ↑19 Nov 2017, 2:44pmThat was hard to fathom considering the care that went into everything else.

Re: Clashing again
I mean, the Clash just generally have treated live material as an afterthought, no? I think our interest in live material is a peculiar fixation compared to the fans en masse.

Re: Clashing again
Who cares what you listen to?
No seriously Gene it is worth owning and all of the remasters are step up from those terrible '99 brickwalled editions.

Re: Clashing again
Marky's remaster is better.

Re: Clashing again
Doesn't Marky upload in lossy formats? That's why I've never checked any of his stuff out.
