I thought it was only song lyrics and drawings, but great to think there might have been music there too. I remember Lucinda being quoted as saying they would take their time about it, but that must be 7-8 years ago at least. Just hope it hasn't been shelved completely.101Walterton wrote:There was talk of a book of handwritten lyrics as well.Marky Dread wrote:There was a guy who made one post about some great stuff being found but he wasn't allowed to say to much.

Re: Strummservations
Regardng the above, why do Clash/Joe fans always seem to get a crappy reissue deal? A band of the Clash's stature should be getting curated to within an inch of their lives. The DVD side of things is an absolute joke, and Joe's back catalogue has been woefully overlooked. Add to that the cancelled Upping St and Sandinista special editions and you've got to wonder which clowns are in charge behind the scenes.
Remember, this is the band who let the bassist's wife manage their affairs for years.
Spinal Clash.

I just polished off some Low Country shrimp & grits and a mess of collards. That's a hell of a strain on the arm.

Re: Strummservations
The issue would be more with Sony than any band members though, wouldn't it? I guess they figure it wouldn't bring in enough cash to be worth it...Heston wrote:Regardng the above, why do Clash/Joe fans always seem to get a crappy reissue deal?

Would it be any less than say The Jam or Madness, both of whom have done a great job with their back catalogue and re releases.Kory wrote:The issue would be more with Sony than any band members though, wouldn't it?

True enough. Maybe Sony still holds a grudge over all the contract problems back when.101Walterton wrote:Would it be any less than say The Jam or Madness, both of whom have done a great job with their back catalogue and re releases.Kory wrote:The issue would be more with Sony than any band members though, wouldn't it?

I think the way the corporate world works would mean that any of the players from then would have been fired, re-hired, retired, taken up with a different company, tried a spell as a dictator of a tiny South American republic, and taken up golf since then.Kory wrote:True enough.
