THE CLASH-OUT OF CONTROL
Posted on May 8th, 2008 by ekkoThis 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:

Glue Zombie

National Powder
Are You Ready for War
Galleani

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.
