"Great show; always looking for Clash bootlegs. Will definitely bookmark your site. More Clash please!"Ask, Mr. Donihue, and you shall receive!
Here's the great Rocker Station bootleg, put together by super-Clash fan Sharoma. As per a previous post I did many moons ago on a bootleg by this band, I'm going to get out of the way and turn the narrative description of this set over to him . . . only Sharoma - come in Sharoma!
I didn't hear about this comp until about four/five years ago, long after it first appeared, so I had the devil's own time trying to track down a copy of it - it was especially tough since this is really not an official bootleg, just a fan's collection of odds and sods. But mission accomplished, and gladly so; there's some gold on this here disc - including the live version of "The Magnificent Seven" the band played on Tom Snyder's Tomorrow show in 1981, while they were in New York during their legendary Bonds International Casino residency, and the demo version of the same song from the previous year (then titled "Dirty Harry [Speed Mix]").
Here's the rest of the track listing:
- Radio One
- Dirty Harry [Speed Mix]
- Rock The Casbah (Hot Tracks Mix)
- Overpowered By Funk (New York Remix) [Speed Mix]
- The Escapades Of Futura 2000
- Radio One (Reprise)
- The Escapades Of Futura Dub
- Overpowered By Funk (Instrumental)
- Rock The Casbah (Ultimix)
- The Further Adventures Of Futura 2000
- The Magnificent Seven (Tomorrow Show)
- Lightning Strikes (Live)
- The Magnificent Seven (Grooveblaster Remix)
- In The Pouring Rain (Demo)

Thanks for sharing - some very hard to find trax - it's always interesting to listen to another fan's compilation
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, love the blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing man! Very hard to find ;)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks again for sharing. This has some amazing stuff. I think the remix was a very creative thing and I love that the Clash were so involved with it as it adds another great notch in their belt. Terrific blog you have here...
ReplyDeleteNothing can go wrong with THE CLASH!
ReplyDeleteThanks and all the best from Berlin!
Thanks again for the link. Really enjoyed Lightning Strikes (live). For those interested (and I'm probably preaching to the converted), two more great live tracks are "What's My Name" and Straight To Hell" on From Here To Eternity (1999). I'll just also add that I have yet to hear that great song, London Calling, done well live - always seemed to miss the driving bass in the mix.
ReplyDeleteSadly I haven't heard much live Clash but that is all about to change - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Clash! I love the Clash, The Professionals and Big Audio Dynamite! I am also starting to love this blog, tons of great stuff
