THIS IS A COPY OF THE CLASH FIVE A LIVE DOUBLE LP from 1984.
SCARCE LIVE RECORDING FROM JOHANNESHOV IASTADION, STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 17/2/1984.
When compared to sets from a few days before it took place, it’s astonishing how quickly this lineup came together. They cover the ground the original lineup trod quite nicely and add some nice touches of their own. This show is also invaluable for the seven Clash II originals that get aired, all of which are immeasurably superior to anything heard on Cut the Crap. ‘Are You Ready for War’ is a pounding slab of Punk Funk, ‘Sex Mad War’ is raving psychobilly, ‘The Dictator’ is a lost Give ‘Em Enough Rope outtake, and ‘This is England’ is a cousin to ‘White Man,’ which it follows in the set. ‘Three Card Trick’ is played here as high impact Punk Rock, not Ska like the album version, and ‘Glue Zombie’ and the original ‘We Are the Clash’ make use of weird syncopations that 80’s era drum machines were incapable of simulating. This is a great set for those curious about this ill-starred lineup and a nice rejoinder to those who say they were inept musicians.
Whilst very clear it is also a bit thin at the top end and their is some distance from the recorder to the sound. On the vocals and bass too there is some mild distortion though all instruments are for the most part very clear, particularly the bass which is unusual.
