So i went down to the record store today to pick up a little somethin' somethin'. I got the new Patti Smith anthology 'Land' which I haven't heard yet. And I picked up the remastered Sandanista.
I'm now listening to Sandanista. How can you say it's bloated. It's an incredible record beginning to end. Give it a serious listen again. I'm having a very productive, happy working afternoon with it blasting through the studio.
Hey, Mike. Does that anthology include her stuff with Scandal or is it just solo?
If it's bloated Clash one wants, pick up Black Market Clash with all the "extra tracks" on it. Some are interesting, but by and large, they should have left the original record the hell alone (and that includes keeping the original song cuts as opposed to the new and "improved" ones) and kept the extra material in the vault from whence it came..
And this Clash (8k file) would have to be the worst Clash record. Period.
“Cut the Crap” was awful, especially the production. I think some of the songs could have been saved by a better producer. Maybe. It’s been a really long time since I listened to it, so I could be wrong.
As for “Black Market Clash”, I was just annoyed that they didn’t include “Armagideon Time” on the CD version. They put on “Justice Tonight/Kick it Over” (the dub version), but why not the non-dub version? It’s one of their best songs. Stupid CBS.
dude i THINK the missing tracks you want are in that Clash on Broadway box, which has recently been remastered / reissued in a smaller box format.
They are, and they need to be on the ORIGINAL. I refuse to buy additional CD's when record companies split up a record so that one must buy three CD's to get on complete record. DEVO's stuff is treated that way a lot as well; I succumb because I am an unashamed DEVO freak, but it bothers the crap outta me nonetheless. (Taking a deep breath, climbing off of indignant soap box)
hey dave. did you know i have some old boojie boy label singles and stiff stuff and other devo odds and ends?
Must have! Gimme!!! (drooling uncontrollably on keyboard)
