The Clash - D.O.A. (Demos, Outtakes, Alternates) (Discs 1 & 2)



Starting with this post, I'm kicking off what I'm calling "Clash Week '12" - nothing but Clash-related albums for the next few days.

And here's the first offering: the ultra-rare two-disc bootleg of Clash rarities, D.O.A. (Demos, Outtakes, Alternate Mixes). I have ZERO information on who put this excellent collection together, or even when it was first released - but no matter. This thing is the balls. I was going to write one of my usual long-winded reviews of this outstanding compilation, but instead I'll direct you to the blog of someone who's already written one a lot better than I ever could have come up with, Sharoma.net. His opening line says it all regarding this set: "Perhaps the ultimate collection of Clash rarities" (the link also provides a breakdown of all fifty-four tracks by source).

These discs are well-nigh impossible to find out there now - it took me over two years of diligent effort to track this thing down myself. But I'm a generous man, and thus I share my good fortune with you; if you love the Clash as much as I do, get ready for a real treat! To quote Sharoma's review, "All Clash fans MUST have this!" Enjoy, and as always, please let me know what you think.

Please use the email link below to contact me, and I will reply with the download links ASAP:

    My favorite track here is the King of the Road cover – if you're a fan of Joe Strummer, you absolutely need to hear it.

  37. A nice companion to Clash On Broadway Outtakes, which only a few shred tracks. Sound quality varies considerably given the large number of sources, but all is quite listenable.

    A great and fun listen. Highly recommended!

    Thanks for sharing this!
