Can you believe Combat Rock, The Clash's classic fifth album, is about to turn FORTY?
The occasion will be marked by a special release called Combat Rock/The People’s Hall, which arrives May 20th.
The anniversary set includes the original album, along with 12 other songs compiled by the surviving members of the band.
Available in a double CD or on triple vinyl, the collection includes a new version of "Know Your Rights" that was recorded at the People’s Hall on the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, as well as a previously unreleased instrumental version of "He Who Dares or Is Tired" and a previously unreleased original mix of "The Escapades of Futura 2000."
The Clash have also shared a pair of collaborations with the English Beat's Ranking Roger. "Red Angel Dragnet" and "Rock the Casbah" will be available on a separate two-track EP that will be issued as a limited-edition 7”. You can check those out here...
