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 ìalternative versionsî of the album originally to be entitled ìRat Patrol From Fort Braggî. The Clash continue to influence musicians and music lovers around the world, it was the ìCombat Rockî 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 Clashís ìFar East Tourî. I have listened to hours of bootlegged shows from around the world for the first airings of the ìCombat Rockî 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 ìOrdinary Joesî who are struggling to make sense of the increasingly complex world.

LIMITED EDITION VERSION WITH OBI AND STICKER†and features Previously Unpublished Photos by JOE STRENO as well as other colour illustrations.

The Clash FAQ: All Thatís 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 Clashís 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 Bondís 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 Clashís albums and singles, a reassessment of the Clash, post-Mick Jones, and original photos and reproductions of hard-to-find Clash memorabilia.
