History: This second CD from the Tommy Gunn label out of Japan is the master recording and is complete.

Notes: The recording circulating previous to the No Elvis .. release was passable but a number of generations down the line. The new CD is sourced from the master, which is revealed as a very good indeed audience recording, capturing the power and savagery of The Clash sound at that time superbly. Mick’s guitar sound is captured best, followed by drums, Joe’s guitar and then the vocals, which are not “as in your face” as a soundboard recording but still good. Bass is good too but low in the mix. There is some stereo separation and although it lacks some range and clarity, cranked up high, it is an extremely exciting listen and is a very important document capturing a super-charged punk performance by The Clash.
