IN TUNE WITH WHAT?
Uncut The Clash “ultimate guide”
I purchased Uncut “ultimate guide” about The Clash.
I may dedicate a specific and detailed post to it, but suffice to say:
- it lacks coordination: some albums get mention of reissues, some don’t,
- it is far from “ultimate” in terms of completeness: why Superblack Market Clash is not considered within the compilation section? Why the “singles box” is considered as if it was a CD only release and the reviewer fails to consider that it contains the Capital Radio EP?,
- it is short of an essential bibliography (The Clash are not David Bowie, so some help for those, the young ones, who want to read about them would have been welcome),
- it misses another point in not considering at least some tracks which, unavailable officially, are nonetheless to be found in some bootlegs (I do mainly refer to the – already mentioned in a post of mine in Italian about The Clash – double version of Combat Rock: Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg).
So it is not ultimate.
As for the title of this post, it is derived from “Capital Radio” lyrics.
