Audio recording
cdr - poor distorted top & bottom
Sound 2.5
Time 74min
Unknown gen?
16 songs / 16 tracks (London Calling from another source?)
Yalla Yalla
A distant and distorted at times sound.
Overall below average with some slight hiss beside a booming distorted bass. The more the db, the more overamplification there is. Some of the lighter songs are a notch better.
London Calling is apparently faded out from a radio broadcast, presumedly track 2 repeated later on the disc.

Joe Strummer Interview
Punk Magazine - by Judy McGuire
It's always scary to meet people you admire as much as I admired Joe Strummer. He was the closest thing to having a hero I ever had. When I got the assignment to interview him, I was both excited and scared shitless. What if he was nasty or rude to me? I'd be crushed. Words can't truly express what a huge influence the Clash had on my life. I was a painfully shy, depressed, awkward teenager the first time I heard them. They taught me about politics, to think for myself, to question authority, and to become a better, more informed person. Their lyrics gave me the courage to stop caring what other people thought about me and to always be true to myself.
BBC Music Jools Holland
We found Joe Strummer on the terrace of the BBC bar, where he imparted to us the wisdom that only comes from hard years on the road . . .
Unknown:
Former Clash frontman, Joe Strummer, is back out on the road with a new band - The Mescaleros. They played Glasgow on Monday night and tomorrow take to the stage at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth before shows in Dublin and Belfast.
