THE CLASH “Capital Crisis" 1980 RARE LIVE double vinyl LP Set from the only band that matters.


This “bootleg” recording from Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ in March 1980 does not come very often and this set offers vinyl in like new condition. I won’t grade anything MINT but these albums were barely played and were very well cared for. The outer sleeve/cover shows traces of a ring and a few stress creases near the edges.


You probably won’t find another set this clean.

Electrostatic sleeves included and plastic cover protector as well.


Includes 24 songs on 4 LP sides.

Recording quality was not done for a major album release so the record sound reflects that. However this set captures the band at their raw and live best.


From The Fat Angel Sings website:


“In 1977, The Clash dropped their hugely influential self-titled debut album on CBS Records, and it still stands up as one of punk’s most essential releases. With their speedy and reckless yet musically adept political punk rock, The Clash arguably became the most influential punk band of their era. On their debut LP, frontman Joe Strummer took on uncomfortable topics like class warfare and imperialism, and their gritty songs exuded a frantic rage and the spirit of alienated youth.


On March 8th, 1980, The Clash performed at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, N.J. following the release of London Calling a few months prior . That night, the band performed amongst others three cuts from their debut record”Janie Jones,” “Police and Thieves” and “Garageland.” Something strange happened at this show there was a bomb-scare that resulted in a delay while police checked underneath the seats to confirm there was not a problem [Joe adlibs about the bomb scare in Police & Thieves]. The supporting acts included the B-Girls, Mikey Dread and Lee Dorsey. The B-Girls were an all girl new wave band. “



The Clash perform “Janie Jones,” “Police and Thieves” and “Garageland” “Wrong Em Boyo” 8th March Capitol Theatre Passiac New Jersey live in 1980, Plus Blockhead Mick Gallagher on keyboards. dub legend Mikey Dread and two encores.
