Not satisfied with the 'Polydor Demos', The Clash had a go early new year at producing something better at Beaconsfield Studios with Mikey Foote. Terry Chimes stands in on drums again following on from Rob Harper.
From these Mickey Foote sessions, White Riot was remixed for the LP. These tracks may have been broadcast by the BBC though this is unsure.
The cdr circulating has a better sound quality than the CD boot All the Young Punks on the Tommy Gunn label, although it barely reaches a 3 in sound quality, except for the last three tracks which do have a better clarity.
You can differentiate the instruments clearly but the sound experiences a swimmingly flat warble throughout.
The vocals, drum and lead guitar/s are OK, it is the middle and lower sounds which suffer. This is more than just listenable but it is far from brilliant.
Faint voices can be heard between tracks. Interestingly Janie Jones is an instrumental here.
The last track, Joe sings Elvis's Heartbreak Hotel which he recorded two versions of in very early 1978, a track previously performed by the 101ers. Check the Derby 75 gig for a 101ers version. Heartbreak Hotel is probably the clearest of all the songs here.
