No Input No Output: The Book of Clash

Books Paperback – 5 May 2022

Amazon.co.uk: Davie, Anthony, Satchwell, Tim: 9798748135191: Books
by Anthony Davie (Author), Tim Satchwell (Author)

Another book about The Clash?...but this one has a twist...it's [the] book of Clash books.

Anthony Davie and Tim Satchwell have both written books about The Clash and Joe Strummer, and have, with the assistance of other fans gathered information from around the world. Some books are just about The Clash or Joe Strummer, others reference their important contribution to Punk culture and way beyond, and even some that use the band and Joe Strummer as a background to novels.

The catalogue covers well known and respected authors, published by big publishing houses,through to people who are just fans and have taken inspiration from the band and followed the DiY route as small scale publishers.

Obsessive? ...yes probably, but The Clash were of course, the only band that mattered!

This particular edition photos etc are in B/W.

"acts as a final word on the great band's press coverage...the attention to detail is fantastic...encyclopedia of all things Strummer 'n' Jones..." Vive Le Rock!

After researching for The Clash Book of Books, Anthony Davie and Tim Satchwell set about collecting together the covers of magazines and music papers from around the world which the band has appeared in.

Some are Clash specials, others have the band as cover stars, and then there are others with substantial or significant contents relating to the band or their post Clash bands and projects.

It took months of research and tracking down publications, achieved as always with the assistance of those Clash fanatics across the world.

COMBAT READY (Tim Satchwell)

COMBAT READY (Tim Satchwell) is the story of the making of the fifth and most commercially successful album by The Clash, released in 1982.

After reading every book about the Clash I can lay my hands on, I feel it is time to write my own.

I cover as much ground as I can, from the background of the band at the time, important world events, the musical climate, and the tears and tantrums.

I include some of the main people involved in the album, preparations for the recording, the songs themselves, release dates and formats, and gather together some of those critical reviews. I take an in depth look at the various 'alternative versions' of the album originally to be entitled 'Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg'.

The Clash continue to influence musicians and music lovers around the world, it was the 'Combat Rock' album that truly broke the band on an International Level, and broke the band quite literally. The premise of my book is how on earth the album was ever released, bearing in mind the incredible saga that unfolded between mid 1981 and early 1983, and how it became such a hugely successful commercial release.

As an obsessive collector of the music and memorabilia of the Clash, I have built up a collection of Clash biographies, pictorial works, audio and video. I identified a gap in the literature, and feel that my book offers a more International approach than the other excellent works.

I have gathered together opinions and news stories and personal memories from the US, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the UK, and even tracked down a member of the audience at the final show in Thailand of the Clash's 'Far East Tour'.

I have listened to hours of bootlegged shows from around the world for the first airings of the 'Combat Rock' material, watched official and unofficial video material and pushed the good will and patience of newspaper and library archivists in several countries to the limits.

I feel the potential interest would be to Clash fans around the world, with hopefully a little something for everyone, a few searching questions for the die-hard fans, and some important lessons for up and coming bands and musicians, and even 'Ordinary Joes' who are struggling to make sense of the increasingly complex world. coming bands and musicians, and even 'Ordinary Joes' who are struggling to make sense of the increasingly complex world.

The Clash FAQ:

All That's Left to Know About the Clash City Rockers†is the first full-length history of the Clash that presents an American perspective of the only UK punk rock band to break big in the United States. The retelling of the early days of the Clash is abetted by an interview with original Clash drummer Terry Chimes. Tag along with author Gary Jucha as he attends the Clash's first U.S. concerts in New York City, follows the Clash throughout England on†The 16 Tons Tour of 1980, and fights his way into the sold out opening night of the Bond's Residency in Time Square on May 28, 1981. The Clash FAQ contains details of Clash concerts unavailable elsewhere and biographies of all six members of the Clash, their sidemen and studio personnel. It also features insightful critiques of all the Clash's albums and singles, a reassessment of the Clash, post-Mick Jones, and original photos and reproductions of hard-to-find Clash memorabilia.
