Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years [Deluxe Boxset)

Product Information

Coming after the 2018 ‘001’ release, it pays fitting tribute to the recordings of a man who deeply touched the lives of so many people. What I’d dearly love to hear now is an ‘OO3’ set comprising of ‘live’ performances within the years covered in this release and I’m sure I will not be alone in anticipation of that. In the aforementioned interview, Lucinda hinted that the well is not dry concerning such a prospect, a welcome assurance I’m sure for many of us. The world may well have not yet heard the last from Joe Strummer and in my book, that’s a damned good thing.

marks twenty years since the passing of the legendary Joe Strummer. Punk poet, musician, composer, actor, and style icon, Strummer spent his life smashing musical and cultural boundaries both as the singer of The Clash and as a solo artist. His songs sound as urgent and vital today as when they were written. If you think you miss Joe Strummer now, by the time you get to the end of this boxset, you are really going to miss the guy. What an impact, what an amazing musician, what an amazing human being, a great artist, and this boxset perfectly captures the man, the music and the moment, I’m so glad this came out.” I learned that fame is an illusion and everything about it is just a joke. I’m far more dangerous now, because I don’t care at all.”

As already pointed out, 001 was anthological, while 002 is thematic, so there are quite a few repetitions. I guess with 001 they wanted to taste the waters and see if there was a significant market. My Vibes Compass records are noise free. They are not flat, but can probably be corrected with a short bake in a Vinyl Flat. Dark Horse Records is celebrating what would have been Joe Strummer’s 70th birthday on Sunday, 21 August with today’s premiere of ‘ Fantastic‘, available now at all DSPs and streaming services.

Great review from Richard. The box set is beautifully put together and I’m still working through it, I must admit I went straight to the demos, and I’ll enjoy them for a few days before moving on to the remixes. So, I guess the same digital transfer was used for mastering both vinyl and CDs right? For me it's a must have anyway, both versions are on their way.I think when you have a communal sound, the listener feels like they can be part of that community.” hours ago Yoshiki – UK Theatrical Release Date Announced for New Music Documentary: YOSHIKI: Under The Sky While best known as the front man for The Clash, Strummer produced some of the most exciting work of his career with The Mescaleros. Strummer said during this period: “All that’s happening for me now is just a chancer’s bluff.

A photo posted on the social media accounts of The Pogues, meanwhile, encouraged fans to “raise a glass” to the late singer. Strummer’s widow, Lucinda Tait, served as executive producer for ‘Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years’. In a press release, she spoke of how work on the upcoming release had in fact begun with 2018 box set ‘Joe Strummer 001’, a 32-song collection from across Strummer’s storied career. “There’s so much great music that Joe left us in his archive,” Tait said. What I find a bit silly is, all these unboxing videos tell you how great the new remasters sound, then you realize they haven't even opened the bloody thing

Set to be release by Dark Horse Records, ‘Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years’ will be released on September 16 and marks the first time a comprehensive anthology of the outfit’s work has been issued.
