The Clash - Outside Broadcasts Vol. 1

I really thought i had lost this vol.1 of my own Clash related compilation,i couldn't find the original disk or file anywhere,and then earlier on today a long time friend of the blog Mr Marky Dread(cheers old chap!!) sent me a link for it.It came from someone else (im sorry ive lost their name but please pass on my thanks and eternal gratitude),its 13 tracks for your listening pleasure and its a cracker.consisting of a few interviews and some great live tracks and tv performances etc etc,this volume of the series is probably my favourite of the lot,maybe as its the first one i did or something ,who knows?but hopefully you'll love it as much as i do.anyhoo please listen enjoy and leave a comment.thanks!

The Beat - Hammersmith Palais 1982

With the sad passing on Tuesday of Beat vocalist Ranking Roger at the far too young age of only 56, here is a reposting of a show from the band recorded in Hammersmith in 1982.RR was an awesome presence on the stage,non stop bouncing,dancing and singing from start to finish,a true gentleman who even though i never met him,will miss him terribly. R.I.P
Ranking Roger RIP
