Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
Giant S on my forehead and all, but I went ahead and ordered the super deluxe set. Hey, I'm actually set up to be able to play the cassette!
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

No way I'm not going to be getting the Super Duper Deluxe set even though i've currently no way of playing the cassette. Bit strange there's no apparent B side to the US North 12". Dont think i ever had a vinyl record that didnt have a B side.

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.

Damn I thought for sure it was the former but now you have me wondering!
Looks like a great set. Those three songs from the When Pigs Fly sessions are some of my favorites, it will be nice to have those in good quality.

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
What's really funny about the dumb "rebellion into money" barb is that of all the notable bands from that period, the Clash have been notably averse to releasing rehashed compilations. We get a new Sex Pistols best-of or Bollocks release seemingly every two years and the Fall were legendary in slapping together odd mixes and live cuts every few months. Joe's been dead for fifteen-plus years and this is the first proper summary release. Just milking that cow, huh?

I just heard about this and am getting choked up at the thought of finally hearing U.S. North. I'm not even going to try describe how excited I am.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Whilst not in the same league as The Jam when it comes to compilations they (The Clash) still have put out more than you think Let's have a look then doc. Not over milking the cow but us fans have bought their stuff over and over.
Not in any order :
The Story of The Clash Vol. 1
The Singles
Sound System
The Crucial Music : Clash Collection
The Crucial Music : 1977 Revisited
Hits Back
The Clash - The Clash compilation
Clash On Broadway
Black Market Clash
Super Black Market Clash
The Clash - Collectors Series
The Essential Clash
Plus the albums have been reissued at least three times.
