The Clash - Give 'em enough dope

After coming across this cd in a box today i did a little research on it and found this at http://www.blackmarketclash.com/

"There is a curious story behind this CD. Sometime in 1988, three EP’s showed up that contained what sound very much like professionally recorded versions of Clash I and II songs, cut from the 1984 tour. The cover art was a melange of candid shots of the band, from both lineups. Included was a pristine run-through of the last great Clash song, the unreleased ‘In the Pouring, Pouring Rain’. And Clash-fan heads have been scratched ever since. Rumors circulated that the tracks were released by castoff guitarist Nick Sheppard, but no proof of that has ever been offered. Other speculation abounded that they were the work of one Kosmo Vinyl, who was preparing to move to the US from England at the time. However, no one has come forth and claimed responsibility .What is remarkable about these tracks is not only do they sound professionally recorded, they sound professionally mixed. There seems to be stereo separation, the drums are soaked in reverb ( something you wouldn’t hear on a soundboard recording) and the levels were high and clean. And the CD gives you a nice contrast between Clash II and the dismal Sun Plaza gig, effectively making the case for the second lineup’s existence."

so listen to this cd and decide for yourselves.i like this even though i wasnt sure about it because a lot of it is the clash II.but its agreat listen all the same.ive included 2 lots of cover art here.one is a set i found on the web somewhere but i cant remember where (sorry!) and the one that the cd was in.anyway listen to and enjoy this one and then leave a comment.thanks!

AC Hall is short for the Academic Community Hall in the HK Baptist University facilities, in Kowloon Tong, where they hold concerts of all sorts. Hootie and The Blowfish played a few years ago..".its a great quality boot and one of my favourite clash live tapes.so kids you know what to do now.thats burn this to cd,play it on your cd players,play it loud till you know all the words off by heart and then be kind and leave a comment.thanks!

The Clash - Tribal Stomp Festival

a really good clash boot for you today from the californian tribal stomp festival.this was a festival set up by Chet Helms who was a music promoter in san fransisco during the late 1960's.

With London Calling only just in the can The Clash flew out to California to fulfil their last pre-Blackhill commitment at the Tribal Stomp Festival and leaving Bill Price responsible for the final mixes. Monterey was not part of the official Take The 5th Tour.The Clash fired up by the event, and by accounts a combination of booze and speed, delivered a show of pure adrenalin. Joe flung himself back into the drum kit as if he’d been shot after the first line of I’m So Bored With The USA, causing the audience to leapt to its feet and creating the dramatic photos used in the New York Times. (thanks to www.blackmarketclash.com)

The Ruts - Deeply Vale Festival 1978

The Deeply Vale Festivals were a unique rock festival held in northwest England in 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979. Chris Hewitt was one of the main organisers of the event and went to produce many other festivals and concerts and start a record company Ozit Morpheus Records.. Starting with an audience of 300 camping for two days in 1976, the festival grew by 1978 and 1979 to 20,000 people watching bands and camping for six days. The Home Office-sponsored body that reported on many pop festivals from the mid 1970's- Festival Welfare Services- said in a report on the 1978 that Deeply Vale Festival "was actually better organised than the large Bob Dylan concert at Blackbushe the same summer". It was the biggest free festival in England ending its annual run after four years in 1979.(from wikipedia.org)

this performance from The Ruts is from the '78 festival when the band were still a relatively unknown quantity outside london.the band may seem a little rough and ready here at times but there is no denying the energy that simply oozes from this disk.babylons burning and jah wars are two tracks here that will simply melt your speakers!this is a fantastic document of one of the best live punk bands and this disk should be in everyones collection.anyhoo with that in mind put this disk on,crank the volume way up,pogo and enjoy the marvellous musical stylings of south londons finest 'the ruts'.and then leave a comment.thanks!

if you are a fan of the clash then you will love this recording of a concert from the palladium theatre in new york from 1979.superb sound quality from this WNEW fm broadcast.i know this station did a lot of concert broadcasts so i know that its quality all the way.which reminds me i have a cd of a ramones show from '82 somewhere that they broadcasted which i must dig out.anyhoo,play this one loud,really really loud,listen,enjoy and when the people downstairs bang on the ceiling asking you to be quiet its time to tiptoe to the computer and leave a comment.thanks!

The Clash - Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg

"Combat Rock was originally planned as a double album with the working title Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg, but the idea was scrapped after internal wrangling within the group. Mick Jones had produced the first cut, but the other members were dissatisfied and producing duties were handed to Glyn Johns at which point the album became a single LP. The original cut has since been obtained and subsequently bootlegged."(from wikipedia)

this is a strange boot only because i have it in 3 different versions.this one is a single disk version but i also have it in a 2 disk version which includes this posting plus a whole load of demos from these sessions.i also have a version called combat out-rock which features a slightly different track listing to the one posted here.anyway for all the clash fans that come to visit the blog this ones for you.i will post the other versions later if anyone is interested.leave a message in the c-box if youd like to hear them.ok then its time to listen to this public service announcement with guitars.enjoy then leave a comment.thanks!

p.s some more clash goodies to come later today.stay tuned!

The Clash - Hamburg Riot '80

This is the infamous riot show where there was mayhem in the audience and on the stage, riot police battling with fans outside, and Joe was arrested for seriously assaulting a ‘fan’ with his guitar. His actions shocked Joe, and had a lasting personal impact on him.
He would raise the incident in a number of interviews there after. Joe said, “I nearly murdered somebody, and it made me realise that you can’t face violence with violence. It doesn’t work”. There is information on the night from three sources; German newspaper reports from the time, an eyewitness account described in Last Gang In Town, and interviews with Joe.there is also a track where a german punk gets on stage and is angrily shouting into the mike.you can read what he says and the three interviews at this excellent site

Tricky - Ghost Town part2.

ok this is an apology of sorts.the earlier post of trickys cover of ghost town has a slight problem.one of the mp3s wasnt actually tricky at all.its a (in my opinion not so great) re-recording by neville staples and not tricky at all.i dont how i messed it up.i had it in a folder in an i-tunes compilation called the awesome 80's or some such cack labelled as tricky.dont know how.so to those of you have downloaded it and burnt it to a cd or an mp3 player or whatever gizmo you crazy kids are using today ,im sorry again guys it aint tricky.if you go to lazys blog at bloggers delite he has a recent post with some great ghost town remixes ( All The Blogs Are Being Closed Down.. )which i must download from him right away.if you visit and download some tunes say hello and thanks.hes a good bloke and posts a lot of top stuff.ok thats it for the moment.till later,keep it real,keep it muebles!!!

The Ruts - Something that i said

this is a good compilation for people who like the music of the ruts and are new to their sound but arent really sure where to start.its mainly made up of songs from the first album and a few other singles etc.not really much else to say about this but if you like the band give it a listen as its always handy to have a compilation like this.and also if you are a completist like me and need all their releases you must get it.so listen,enjoy,think back to 1980 and leave a comment.thanks!

Bad Brains - I and I Survived (DUB)

this is the seventh album from hardcore punk legends Bad Brains.this album is largely instrumental and a mainly dub affair (but dont let that put you off !)with occasional journeys to their traditional hardcore punk side.kind of like one of their other albums but in reverse if you like.always a great band to listen to and to go and see live.they still do the odd tour to europe and beyond so go see them if you can.if you like this album you should definitely check out I against I a superb blending of face meltingly fast hardcore punk and great reggae tunes too.so listen,relax,enjoy and leave a comment.thanks!

The Clash - Live in Jamaica

Good morning listeners.Another top Clash boot to kick things off today.In this recording the sound quality is excellent and the mix is equally good.It's a great performance by the group (Terry Chimes doing a good job on drums - this was his last gig with The Clash) and the group went on very early in the day, at around dawn. Kosmo Vinyl in the 'Introduction' track makes mention of this. In fact, it's worth having this for the quality alone, and the performance is superb throughout. The Guns Of Brixton opens to a great drum intro, and continues excellently. Magnificent 7 is performed really well, and in two parts as well. There seems to be a lot more energy in the reprise (similar to the Who's On First CD), with Joe doing an extended rap with different lyrics.

anyway kids its time to listen,dance,enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

The Selecter - Celebrate the Bullet

'Celebrate The Bullet' saw The Selecter cutting their ties with 2-Tone and moving away from that labels trademark sound. Gone are the clasic ska and reggae covers of their debut 'Too Much Pressure', gone too are original bassist (Charley Anderson) and keyboardist (Desmond Brown). However, new recruits James Mackie (Keyboards) and Adam Williams (bass) seem to add an exciting new dimension to the 'Selecter' sound. More band members are involved with the songwriting this time round with chief songwriter Neol Davies providing just 5 of the albums original 11 tracks.The music seems somewhat more atmospheric than their previous lp and singles. Davies''Washed Up and Left For Dead'is particularly haunting. Other classic tracks include Pauline Black's 'Deepwater' and Compton Amanor's 'Bombscare'. All of this plus lavish artwork including full lyrics, extensive sleevenotes and 4 bonus tracks including the minor hit single 'The Whisper' and the rare 'B'-sides 'Last Tango In Dub'and 'Train To Skaville'. All in all a great testament to what a great band The Selecter were in their prime. Anyway give this cd a listen,enjoy the great bonus songs and then leave a comment.thanks!

p.s a bit late but thanks to Liam for this info.

Tricky - Ghost Town

ok here we go with another cover,this one being a live version of ghost town by tricky.terry hall does a bit of guest vocals but its mainly tricky so in my opinion it counts as a cover!in this post you get 2 versions.one labelled ghost town (live) which is definitely tricky and a studio version which may not be.im not sure to be honest.so please listen and confirm whether or not the studio version is him or not.play loud ,enjoy, do some detective work and then leave a comment.thanks!

Reel Big Fish - Monkey Man

Since the band's founding in 1992 and their demo In the Good Old Days..., the only original member remaining is Aaron Barrett.This is another cover of 'monkey man' and a great one it is too.so kids listen,bounce about,enjoy and go on go crazy and leave a comment.thanks!

Snuff - Do Nothing , You're wondering now

Snuff are an English punk band formed in 1986. Their name reportedly came about after a long discussion about names ended up with one of them claiming "That's Enough", which was then shortened to Snuff. The original line up was Duncan Redmonds on drums and vocals, David Redmonds on Trombone, Simon Wells on guitar and vocals,and Andy Crighton on bass.they have gone through a few line up changes since then and are apparently at the moment 'taking a break.'

these two tracks are taken from their 'six of one ,half a dozen of the other' compilation cd which is on fat wreck records.its a 2 disk set of greatest hits and b-sides,rarities etc and is definitely worth a purchase.

so play this loud,enjoy,dance,think of another specials cover not yet listed here,let me know and then leave a comment.thanks!

many thanks to 'biopunk' for the heads up on this one.cheers

Their name is a play on words referring simultaneously to their "Frenchness" and "artiness" (the '60s new wave of cult French cinema), the source of their songs (all covers of punk rock, post-punk, and New Wave songs), and their use of '60s Bossa nova-style arrangements.their second album also contains a cover of the buzzcocks classic 'ever fallen in love'.anyway play this,relax,enjoy and leave a comment.

after the success of the ruts at the marquee club post i thought id begin today with this one.The Crack is The Ruts first album, released in 1979 and containing the UK hit singles: "Babylon's Burning" (No. 7 in the UK chart in June 1979) and "Something That I Said" (No. 29 in September 1979) The song "Jah War" which was written in the aftermath of the Southall unrest and the over-use of force by the Metropolitan Police Service's Special Patrol Group in 1979 was also released as a single but didn't make the UK chart.this is a cd rerelease of the album with 3 bonus tracks of bsides etc.once again i prefer the vinyl version but then again i usually do.

ive got more great cds,remixes etc from the ruts and ruts dc if anyones interested let me know or i may just post them anyway!! so play this loud,pogo,enjoy and then leave a comment.thanks!

this is the debut album from the selecter and a cracker it is too.id not listened to this in a long time until i dug it out of the archives and gave it a spin.it bought so many memories of ska parties from years ago flooding back.i remember trading a pencil case in school for a copy of this album on vinyl and still have it.ah memories!!some great songs on here too like three minute hero,street feeling and a brilliant version of the james bond theme.

anyway this is a rip from the cd and great quality it is too.cover scans etc included for your convenience also.so play it loud,invite the neighbours around for a beer and ting,dance, relax and enjoy.then when youve recovered leave a comment.thanks!

The Ruts - Live at the Marquee Club '79

With their unique blend of raucous punk rock laced with reggae and dub, the Ruts were one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Britain's late-'70s scene. Their career was cut cruelly short by the death of their singer in 1980, but still the group released six crucial singles and a seminal album in their short lifetime. They were also a powerful force within Britain's Rock Against Racism movement, ensuring a political legacy at least as vital as their music.this gig captures them at their most powerful and is rightly hailed as a classic punk bootleg.

so play it extremely loud,scare the cat,enjoy then leave a comment.thanks!
