Clash / London, UK 07.30.1982 Remastered

The London performance on July 30, 1982, is now available in an upgraded edition with significantly improved sound quality! While there are several incomplete audience sources, the label’s previously released “BRIXTON FAIR DEAL 82 -COMPLETE EDITION-,” which was recorded in its entirety using a high-quality stereo soundboard recording, has been newly digitally transferred and released in an upgraded edition with significantly improved sound quality! While there isn’t much stereo separation, the recording offers a well-balanced sound quality with all parts, including the vocals. The missing tracks from the soundboard recording, “Rock the Casbah,” “Janie Jones,” “Police on My Back,” and “Safe European Home,” have been supplemented by high-quality audience recordings from other sources. While the previously released version had a weak bass and a high-frequency-biased sound image, this edition features significantly improved bass, resulting in a more powerful sound! This was Mick Jones’ final show in London, and while the tour usually starts with “London Calling” after the opening sound effect “A Fistful of Dollars,” they surprised everyone by playing “White Riot,” their first opening number since 1976! Joe, not wanting to play this song, ended up punching Mick in the face. But from opening to closing, the performance was tense and fantastic, making it one of the best performances of the tour! The set list included five songs from “COMBAT ROCK,” released two months ago. Mikey Dread appeared on “Rockers Galore,” a dub version of “Bankrobber,” creating a smoky atmosphere. Mick Jones’s effective guitar sounds on “Somebody Got Murdered,” “Stright To Hell,” and “Police And Thieves” were all great performances that could be called the highlights of the day, and even the final track, “Garageland,” with its gripping intro, allowed fans to swoon over these rare recordings, all of which can be enjoyed on an improved sound quality version!
