Well we've been talking about the The Price (see HERE) and their label Released Emotions Records (see HERE) and Clash-loving in general, so while were in the thick of things, here's that label's tribute to The Clash which includes The Price's folk-punk take on "English Civil War".
The covers are pretty eclectic (read: some stinkers) and my favourites are the ones with some bloody oomph (The Price, Red Letter Day, PKRK etc.)
1 Crass - Intro
2 The Indestructible Beat - Capital Radio
3 Bleach - Complete Control
4 Kage Engineering - Charlie Don't Surf
5 Pop Am Good - London's Burning
6 Attila the Stockbroker - Washington Bullets
7 Terry Edwards - Version City
8 Anhrefn & One Style MDV - Bankrobber
9 Levellers 5 - Hateful
10 The Price - English Civil War
11 Walls Have Ears - Spanish Bombs
12 Mass - London Calling
13 The Moonflowers - Armagideon Time
14 Bad News - Police and Thieves
15 Red Letter Day - Straight to Hell
16 The Blaggers ITA - Guns of Brixton
17 PKRK - Somebody Got Murdered
18 Les Cadavres - Stay Free
19 Serious Drinking - London's Burning (Reprise)

Enjoy Clash-lovers - thanks for for the good words!
ReplyDeletethank you so much! i've been following your blog for some time now and i always find great stuff. keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThe Clash were a joke, & still are a joke once you stop drinking the liberal Kool-Aid.
ReplyDeleteI'll be surprised if this gets posted because the moderator can't handle the truth.
Ha Ha Ha!
DeleteThe moderator (um...that's me ER) always publishes your comments - they're pure comedy gold. You never read the posts, you never understand the subject, you never respond back - you're just a Republican bot!
the clash music is immortal.they have leave their mark from punk to ska and rockabilly.such diversity and yet so cool.
ReplyDeleteFantastic collection. On first listen(s) stand outs are Kage Engineering, Pop am Good and The Price. What's the point of doing a straight cover of a Clash song. You're not going to improve on the original... Any Part 2 around?
ReplyDeleteI don;t think they ever got to # 2.
DeleteInteresting stuff!
ReplyDeleteI'm a conservative and love the Clash, the Pistols and much more.
ReplyDeleteFree-market constitutionalism doesn't mean dislike of good music.
It usually means critical and free thinking about effects of policy over simply short-sighted emotion.
Keep up the good work.
Always glad to have a thoughtful voice on the other side of the debate.
DeleteTo me that willingness to think critically about the effects of policy is a a crucial thing, regardless of your political stripe.
The Red Letter Day cover has really grown on me - The Clash covered by The Skids?!. Check this out for what The Right Profile would have sounded like covered by The Stranglers!

Rest of the album is great too.
Listening to London Calling, I thought to look for tributes and found this site. Thanks for this collection.
