The review
Snotty Snail brings us another great Clash title in their series of Clash Masters. Apparently someone who had ties to the band at one time is finally letting out some of the finest unreleased material directly from band masters. This London Lyceum performance was recorded for the Rude Boy Film. This is the complete show. Quality varies a bit for some reason but it's a show that many collectors have sought after for years and after finally hearing it for the first time (I'm told it's been out in poor quality before) it's still very worthwhile. Possible knowing it was going to be a filmed document of the band - the Clash play as if it's their last show. Packaging is top notch and includes a 6 panel foldout with many unreleased photos and pertinent news articles. Snotty Snails previous releases were quite limited and sold out quickly so don't hesitate on this gem. (Snotty Snail claims reissue on previous titles at some point).
