From 2021, this was released a year prior to his death in 2022 from a heart attack. I had listened to side one of this 2 record set when I bought it. Another one I missed when doing my original alphabetical listening project. Side one has &#8220;Johhny Appleseed&#8221; from the first Mescaleros CD I have and a live version of &#8220;I Fought The Law&#8221; a Clash favorite and &#8220;Tony Adams&#8221; another one I liked and put on my playlist. The other three sides had good songs as well. &#8220;Love Kills&#8221; is from The Sid And Nancy soundtrack, a movie I rented when I was living in Hull in the mid 80&#8217;s, that sounds like something from any hair band from that time. &#8220;Mondo Bongo&#8221; is another good one from the first Mescaleros CD as is &#8220;At The Border Guy&#8221;.  &#8220;Forbidden City&#8221; has a great catchy chorus and I love the electronics in &#8220;Yalla Yalla&#8221;. Two other Clash songs are on here A live version of &#8220;Rudy Can&#8217;t Fail&#8221; and an acoustic performance of &#8220;Junco Partner&#8221;. A few more to go on my playlist.  Strummer does a solo acoustic cover of Bob Marley&#8217;s &#8220;Redemption Song&#8221; Good heavyweight gatefold cover and record. Lyrics and credits are on the record sleeves. Liner notes by Jacob Dylan. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This compilation has songs recorded after the breakup of The Clash including some live performances and songs by The Mescaleros&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/2026\/03\/30\/joe-strummer-assembly\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Joe Strummer-Assembly<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8612"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8612\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8614,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8612\/revisions\/8614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
