yeah, and some DVD footage, according to the article posted in the older thread about this. i can't wait.

HEY! wait a second...i heard september 21st release date.

 

[bayernfc]

almost a month.... can't wait!

 

[bayernfc]

...and since we're bringing up this whole Clash re-release thing again.......should I get the NME Originals or 2 issues of uncut legends (i guess the 2 uncut ones are just the same with different covers) ...even though i will eventually end up getting both!!

 

[bedouin fire]

I was just listening to London Calling yesterday, or was it the day before, while I was motoring happily through the Oregon Outback. I was thinking about what a perfect record it was, with just a song or two to avoid if one was impatient that day. In fact, look for a London Calling song poll in the next day or two.

Anyway, I'm sure that the bonus tracks will be exciting, but I continue to have doubts about adding tracks to reissues. Bands work very hard to achieve balance with albums; they select the songs carefully, and order them so the record flows. I hope that the bonus tracks are on a separate cd, so newcomers to this exceptional album can hear it the way the band intended at least once through.

18 bonus tracks for an album that already has like 19 songs? that is insane.

In their short time together, they sure wrote a lot of songs.

Tonight I finally got the chance to watch the Clash documentary I taped off the Trio channel last week. It really whetted my appetite for this whole London Calling reissue thing.

oooh

do tell me about this.

 

[Bono's shades]

oooh

do tell me about this.

It was mainly interviews with the band members. It must have been filmed sometime before Joe died. There's some concert footage, but they only played snippets of songs. That was the only drawback.

I have two VCRs so I could make a copy and send it to you if you like.

 

[bayernfc]

Sounds very much like the Westway DVD........ if it's not....I'd love a copy too.

 

[Bono's shades]

Actually, I believe the title WAS Westway to the World. I'll have to rewind to the beginning to see for sure.

 

[IWasBored]

ah, westway to the world rules.
