THE CLASH-OUT OF CONTROL

Posted on May 8th, 2008 by ekko

This is a little mp3 bootleg that I know nothing about. It was called the “Out of Control Studio Sessions,” but I can’t find information about it. If anyone out there has a little background, please drop a comment about it. I suspect it’s from 1984, when Joe fired Topper and Mick, Terry came back, and Nick Sheppard of the The Cortinas and Vince White signed on with the band. It’s not great stuff, but “Pouring Rain” and “Rock N Roll City” got rejiggered much later by Joe solo, and become something much better. This is a curio for Clashfanatic. I don’t recommend it for the casual listener.

A few tastes and a zip:

We Are the Clash
In the Pouring Rain
Glue Zombie
Ammunition
National Powder
Are You Ready for War
Galleani
This is England
Rock N Roll City

ZIP!

It’s from November, 1983. Nick had joined, but Vince had not yet been hired. These are all Joe originals, some of which got reworked (often to great improvement) throughout early 1984.

HOW CAN I GET IN ON THIS?

Email me
for the specifics but, basically:
I listen to all submissions of entire albums, not songs or compilations.
With rare exceptions I will not review material protected by the RIAA. So Sony, BMG, etc., don't start sending me crap. I'm not interested.
I don't listen to streams.
I won't read online comic-books. I may read .pdfs. I will read all hardcopy submissions.
I will review only submissions that I can recommend. I'm not here to do negative reviews.
Contact me to tell me to remove something. I'll take it down within 24 hours.
