Due to the size of the file (227 mb) I decided to upload it and offer it as a download.

LONDON CALLING, one of the most successfull records ever, was released in 1979 and was declared one of the most important records of the 80s. Funny enough...
25 years later there was an anniversary edition (25th Anniversary Legacy Edition) including, apart of the regular cd, one bonus cd with studio outtakes and unreleased rehearsal material (unreleased for quite some reasons) plus a brilliant documentary of the Making Of LONDON CALLING, promo videos and some interviews. Fair enough.
Now, or last year, the 30th Anniversary Edition was released and the CBS fuckers did not even just do a re-issue of the 25th Anniversary Legacy Edition. They cut it to just the two cds.
What kind of bullshit is this? Don't try to fuck fuckers! For those who denied to buy any of the anniversary editions, I will post - one after another - the promo videos, the documentary and some studio anarchy videos.
In 1981 THE CLASH recorded what should have been released as "Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg" but was released in 1982 as "Combat Rock". The original version of "Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg" was produced by Mick Jones and is nowadays known as "the original Combat Rock". RPFFB consists of two cds whereas cd 1 is the regular album and cd 2 is some kind of remix album. Some of the remixes were later released on "Super Black Market Clash". There are also two different covers circulating in the www. Make your choice. I made mine.
I really appreciate that you get in contact with me and ask for my support. It makes me feel good to see that THIS IS INDIE is followed all over the world.
The thing is, I get an awful lot of mails and I hardly find the time to go through them all, not mentioning downloading stuff and listening to it.
The main purpose of this blog is to let the world have a share in my favorite music that I already own and there is still much to be posted.
So please understand that I will not post any more new bands at the moment and also will not have the time to answer your mails. Not by record companies and not by bands or managers.
I'm sorry but I simply have to be this direct as I get flooded with mails and I simply have to delete them unread.
