Sound Quality
Old Tape
The first night of two successive which aimed at raising money for the miners national strike aimed at toppling the fascist right wing British Government led by 'The Leader' Margaret Thatcher.
The sound on the LP is fractionally better, though the vinyl has some slight surface noise. The vocals are also a touch low in the mix and the sound toward the thin end. The drums, vocals and lead are clear but the bass is virtually lost in the sound.
The LP includes sequentially the first 12 tracks and presumedly it was going to be a double at first?
The sound on the full recording is very good as well.
New Cut the Crap songs are beginning to appear to add to the already Are Your Ready for War, Three Card Trick, The Dictator, Ammunition and We are the Clash from earlier in the year
Added now to the set is the new North and South, Dirty Punk and rare Fingerpoppin, the only known live version and completely different to the studio version. Gone are In the Pouring Rain, Glue Zombie and Sex Mad War.
There is a great version of One More Time at the beginning.

Guardian article online or archived PDF
In 1982 Simon Parkes bought a rundown cinema in south London for £1 and for a glorious decade brought music's biggest names to the Brixton Academy. Here he remembers gigs with the Clash, egg and chips with Eric Clapton and hosting the country's first-ever legal raves.
“"The most memorable moment for me was the opening number of the Clash [in March 1984], which was a big breakthrough for the Academy," says Parkes. "They played London Calling, and watching 5,000 people go absolutely mental gave me this feeling in my stomach that was somewhere between the adrenaline of a near car crash and your first kiss from a really hot girl you fancy.”
