Man no1 talks about Super Black Market Clash, some of the songs are great, yet some are real wierd. But, all ture Clash fans must have it. To enjoy, or collect.I really like it.

hey strummerville, I'm not really an albums cat, I go for best ofs and mp3s. But substance is one of the few albums I've actually forked out for and it's worth it. If you can find their really early stuff it's interesting to compare to their later, more well-know stuff. Basically I'd recomend you get their Best Of album, work out what sortof songs you like more (old, punker stuff from when they were still Warsaw, half and half stuff, or full on post-punk with synth like "Love Will Tear Us Apart). Then decide which album you would prefer based on that. And then if you really like them, buy all the albums. That is my advice...

The Notebook is some f'ucking movie, eh?

And I've got Super Black Market. It is pretty cool, but most of the stuff at the end is weird and boring.

Thanks for the advice Curtis. I like both Warsaw and Love Will Tear Us Apart but I'll have a trawl through their stuff soon. I'll probably Substance too.

Regarding Super Black Market Clash, there are some of my fave Clash songs on there. 'Gates Of The West', '1977', the cover of 'Pressure Drop' are all quality.

When you say the end, do you mean the end of the clash or the end of Super Black Market Clash?

The end of Super Black Market. But the album is done chronologically (big word) so that stuff is from the end of the Clash's career.

I thought it was released mid-career though.

Black Market was released mid-career so the fans could have songs like Capital Radio and I Fought the Law that were'nt released on the UK s/t or any album for that matter.

Super Black Market was after the Clash was over and had EVERY rarity from 1976-1983 or so.

man I re-listened to Rock The Casbah the other day. Still a crappy song but it has some rather interesting lyrics that I didn't pick up on before.

"degenerate the faithful with that crazy casbah sound"

strangely applicable, thought I

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]Y'know I wonder if Andy cries whenever she listens to Silver and Gold... because it really sad and she's the crying type.[/QUOTE]
just when I'm already sad. :upset: (i always listen to streetcore when i'm sad..) but anyway, redemption song makes me cry more than silver and gold.

oh yeah, and about rock the casbah:

I went to this really crappy bar with my friends (cause they don't ask if you're 18) and it was empty, so we asked the dj for "rock music", but the music still sucked so we went outside. He came outside and asked us what we wanted to hear and obviously I said "The Clash". He started talking about this time in 1979 where he was totally drunk and saw them in a small club in montreal and how they played London's Burning (I'm sure he was lying..)
Anyway, he said he really liked them back then and he sang almost all the songs from the self-titled to london calling. It was scary. And he put rock the casbah. and danced....eww.

trust the french to do something weird like that.

and for the record, rock the casbah isn't a crappy song.

Noone gets the chorus right in that song

[QUOTE=Silvermedalmafia]and for the record, rock the casbah isn't a crappy song.[/QUOTE]

Not at all, great song in fact. And I find it funny that it was the "theme song" for Operation Desert Storm.

Whats Operation Desert Storm, are you talking about the war we are in right now, cos i didnt know it had a theme song.

The Gulf War :rolleyes:. It wasn't a "theme song" per se (i do not know what the f'uck "per se" means. i just had to say it.) but they played it for the soldiers over there.

Intersting i didnt know that. Nothing goes better with the clash than rallying up troops for war?

I hope you are being sarcastic, really...

What are you talking about, clash loved war, Hate and War? Duh...















edit: :p

[QUOTE=CombatRock]Whats Operation Desert Storm, are you talking about the war we are in right now, cos i didnt know it had a theme song.[/QUOTE]

Operation Desert Storm was George H.W. Bush's war with Iraq.

I'm so goign to knock the clash off of Hurt/Heal.

Psh. ya right, Clash shall win that hurt and heal.




(those are getting very annoying, there taking over MX)

They suck.

i don't like rock the casbah. I find it highly amusing that it was the themesong to gulf war one though.
