Evening listeners.This is a post from a folder labelled "Strummer Various" thats been sitting around on the hard drive twiddling its thumbs for months waiting patiently to be posted. Its a 45 min show recorded in September of 1999 for KCRW radio and is a mix of an acoustic number or two, interviews which include his thoughts on 8track tapes and other assorted randomness and a selection of Joe's favourite tunes. anyway this is the first of several joe related posts to come (from this folder i mentioned earlier )very soon, including live shows and more interviews etc etc.so its over to you guys to listen enjoy and leave a comment.thanks!

Calling Clash Fans - Should i buy this?

As you may have gathered by now i am a bit of a Clash obsessive.This mega deluxe box set is released in September and contains remastered versions of all studio albums,discs of demos rarities,live tracks ,dvd's of official videos,reprints of armagideon times,stickers badges etc etc etc and all presented in boom box style packaging designed by Paul Simonon. Now my dilemma as i own all the albums on vinyl and cd (although i cant find the sandinista vinyl!)is whether or not to buy this set.it does come with some choice extras(although i dont know the track listing of the demos and rarities) and would look feckin great in my living room with the rest of my collection. On amazon its available to pre-order for £111.81p. if i dont get it now should i wait till it comes out and then risk having to pay more or take a chance that it will be available for a bit less. I missed out when the cd-singles box set came out first but want to get that as you can get it on amazon now for about £20-25.so what should i do?buy it or forget about it?wait and risk missing out?anyway over to you listeners.id really appreciate your thoughts on this.thanks very much
The Clash Sound System.look on Amazon!!
