cdr - low gen - 38 mins - ok - 3 - tracks 13

Contains the early unreelased Clash tracks I Know What To Think Of You, I Never Did It, How Can I Understand The Flies, Mark Me Absent and Im So Bored with You (not USA).


Good soiund for the recording. Some muffling distance but the much of the sound is clear and sounds from a low source. Enjoyable and on a par with other good recordings from the era.

Greatness from Garageland
 Peter Silverton, Trouser Press, February 1978
UNANNOUNCED, TO SAY the least, a kid in boots, suspenders and short-cropped hair clambers through the photographers' pit and up onto the stage of London's Rainbow Theatre. Benignly ignored by band, stage crew and security alike...

supporting the Rockets... just a note on your gig list i saw them at tiddingfoot leisure centre and keith levene was still a member they were supported by a r n b band called the rockets.

the promoter a guy called chris france had also promoted gigs by the jam,the dammed and eddie and the hot rods all in leighton buzzard he also managed john otway and wild willy barrett at this time.the clash were superb sounding a lot like the mc5 at this gig.

i'd actually gone along to see the rockets who i'd seen locally several times in the previous couple of years and followed around a bit,but the clash blew them off stage and they split soon after.cheers glyn
