35 YEAR OLD SHAKE

A lot of you probably have the first Clash album, and some of you might have both versions, the original 1977 UK version, and the US version, released in 1979 with a different track listing. I was fiend enough to own both, but the UK version I had has been lost for years. It was good to here "Protex Blue" again today, so I thought I'd make an easy "fix the US version" kit for fellow tightwads. As happens with most of my bright ideas, the results are rather half assed. I could only find two of the other four songs needed, "Cheat" and "Janie Jones". In lieu of the other two ("Deny" and "48 Hours") there's the demo of "1977" that makes the officially released version sound over produced, and a link to a 1978 show (both of which have been posted before).
