Chuck Prohet & The Spanish Bombs: London Calling (Live, 2011)



While hypothesizing about Chuck Prophet's record collection (see HERE), I left out a number of probably obvious choices, not least among them being The Clash's London Calling. To celebrate my and Chuck's shared love of London Calling here's a great-sounding live recording of Chuck and his pick-up band, The Spanish Bombs, doing the album in its entirety.

    Well, this is one I just gotta hear. Still remember hearing "London Calling" for the first time. Amazing. Nearly missed my {paid for) college dining hall dinner listening to the last note. (And back then every meal counted.)

      I remember as 13 year-old sneaking out of bed when I was sleeping over at friend's house because his brother had the LP where I could pore over the lyrics (I only had the cassette version!)

    Shit, I love this site!
    You've gave me a real flashback with all your Rezillos, Revillos stuff, and now this.
    A must hear, Chuck's latest rec, Temple Beautiful, is one of my toprecs this year.
    And London Calling is one of my all time favourites.

    Didn't know this existed! Awesome! Saw Chuck a few years back, and he said he was high on cold medication - the music was great that night, but his between-song banter was even better. He was hilarious.
