* Best for tracks from I Fought the Law onwards
Are You Ready for War
Audio 2 - Edited boot cassette
Slight upgrade - Sound 4* - 1hr 14min - bc/m - 23 tracks
* Best for tracks upto Janie Jones only. Misses Safe European Home, Police & Thieves, Three Card Trick anbd English Civil War
Are You Ready for War
Sound quality
A very low gen tape with bootleggers artwork and bootleggers edits [73.40]. This is a minor upgrade on the full show which is quite good as well, maybe only a coupe of copies less.
The tracks lost on the better one are Safe European Home, Police and Thieves, Three Card Trick and English Civil War, Janie Jones has an inferior sound also.
A nice sounding show with a lot of similarity to many of the other audience 84 shows. Great sound within the limitations, nice width with pretty good acoustics/clarity. Nice mix, bass, guitars, vocals, and drums. This one is slightly better than most.
Differing bootleg tapes knocking about

BRIXTON ACADEMY - Robin Denselow
SEVEN years on from the punk revolution, is there still a place for the Clash? When I last saw them in the autumn of `72, they were supporting the Who at New York’s vast Shea Stadium two magnificent bands from different generations split by personality conflicts and the loss of their original ideals. Since then, of course, the Who have collapsed and the Clash have split in two, with Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon actually sacking Mick Jones, who was always more of a flash rocker than a punk.
Smash Hits? or Face?
The Academy in London's Brixton is a 30's cinema with an air of shaby elegance. Classical greek statues... after a few numbers (Strummer) "i'm prepared to kill sonmeone..."
