101 means the scribbled out bit beside the star. I think?
Yep got autocorrected to dude??
It looks like it was the name of another track possibly a b- side to TIV.
That simply makes no sense mate. Why would there have been a B-side to Train in Vain? It was going to be released as a free flexi with the NME.
Just looked like it was another track name the way it was written underneath and also crossed out.
It's written the other way up to the rest. I'm sure the first word is "Music" and the last "OK". I blew up the image and traced the letters.
I would like to know what "Phantom Poker" means.
‘Phantom track’ would suggest TIV was going to be an add on which it was, like a ghost track with no tracklisting.
That would of course contradict the Clash myth (like that never happens).

Train in Vain was scratched into the run out groove on side four of the original copies. That only explains "Phantom Track" but not the bit a the bottom that says "Phantom poker".
I guess it just alludes to it being a hidden track. Like a card in a hand of poker.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.
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.

It just annoys me when I see lesser bands getting proper deluxe treatment. I've said it many times but look at the treatment the recorded works of XTC and the Jam have had. This is a pitiful offering.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Add The Specials to that. Their 35th? Reissues with all the extra tracks were great.
The scrapbook looks pretty good I think, although I too am happy to wait a while till it's reduced.
Did I detect what looks like pages from the scrapped LC songbook in there? The scans of which have kindly been shared here in the past.
I still think that should have been published at some point (eg. anniversary tie-in) over the years - it would surely sell. This could be the closest we'll get to that.
