It was originally written by Toots & The Maytals, and was also covered by ska greats The Specials. The next song, "Pressure Drop" is one of my favorite songs on the album. " The prisoner lives in Camden town // selling revolution // the prisoner loads his tracking arm up // with self-delusion // your mother does the washing up // your old man digs the garden // you're only free to dodge the cops // an' bunk the train to stardom." Want me to elaborate? Well, as Mic Jagger once said, "you can't always get what you want."įrom the Marquee Sessions comes "The Prisoner", which is sung by Jones. locked him away" and " And then there's Keith, waiting for trial // Twenty-five thousand bail // If he goes down you won't hear his sound // But his friends carry on anyway", sung by Jones, with Strummer and Jones harmonizing on the chorus another Clash classic. Lyrics such as: " Let me tell you 'bout Wayne and his deals of cocaine // A little more every day // Holding for a friend till the band do well // Then the D.E.A. Track 3, "Jail Guitar Doors", was originally a 101ers (Joe Strummer's band before joining The Clash) tune, though the lyrics have been rewritten for this version. The bass line is grooving, and the whole song just makes me want to get up and shake my booty like it's my duty. I love Clash instrumentals⦠I love this Clash instrumental. "Listen" is an instrumental off of the "Capitol Radio" EP. Electric Frankenstein did a great cover of this song, I suggest everyone go download it-asses. It is a prototype of The Clash's most well-known sound chainsaw guitars, catchy rhythms, and sharing of the vocal duties (though not as evenly in this song as in others). "1977", the first track on Super Black Market Clash, was also one of the first The Clash ever wrote. Super Black Market Clash ensures that most are available again." In 1993 the vinyl record is moving from the endangered species onto the extinction list, leaving a lot of Clash recordings out of print.
As it says in the liner notes (which I constantly rip information from throughout this review), "Between March 1977 and June 1982, The Clash released over eighteen 7" singles, five albums (including a double and a triple), four 12" singles and two 7" EPs. Super Black Market Clash has B-sides and rarities from throughout (and even before) The Clash's existence, in addition to most of Black Market Clash's original track list. This LP is an extended version of the 10" EP Black Market Clash, which came out in 1980 with the track list:
Super Black Market Clash is a testament to that. They are, without a doubt, one of the most varying punk bands, and one of the first of such bands. For me, The Clash are one of those bands. You may neglect them for a short while, but once you listen to something by them-anything by them-they won't be leaving the player any time soon. Everyone has a few bands that they will always like.
