Punk & Hardcore
“The World According to The Clash” is released on 13 November on Sony Music. It began as a 1982 promo record handed to US radio DJs ahead of “Combat Rock” and never put on sale.
There are eleven tracks. Side A: “Rock The Casbah”, “Clampdown”, “Train In Vain (Stand By Me)”, “Brand New Cadillac” and “The Magnificent Seven”. Side B: “I Fought The Law”, “The Guns Of Brixton”, “Spanish Bombs”, “London Calling”, “Lost In The Supermarket” and “Should I Stay Or Should I Go”.
Three of those titles — “The Magnificent Seven”, “The Guns Of Brixton” and “Spanish Bombs” — appear here on a collection that was never sold. All three are on “The Story Of The Clash, Volume 1” (1988).
The edition is newly remastered with artwork designed by the band, on limited red and orange vinyl, CD and digital. Orange vinyl orders from the official store come with a poster. Who did the remastering hasn’t been said.
