This may be the overlooked gem of the Clash catalog. Black Market Clash, here reissued by the excellent Drastic Plastic record on a 180g vinyl 10" platter that reproduces the Epic original straight down to the labels, features B- sides, dub mixes and the odd alternate on an EP that proves that more often than not, the best Clash was the B-side Clash.
Suffice to say - this is a fine reissue, that betters the rather mediocre sound and pressing of originals, and is a record that rocks straight through with a faithful remastering that has a clarity and depth not found on the original pressings. A major upgrade and a real keeper. A fantastic artifact of a pivotal period in music, from the pivotal band who were, at that moment, the best rock band in the world.
Highly recommended. Five doobies, and more. Limited press run that won't be around for long.
So far, Drastic Plastic has done the first Clash, Give 'Em Enough Rope, and this. Can we hope for London Calling (the Music On Vinyl reissue is merely ok) and even Sandanista? More likely Combat Rock, I'm guessing. Take them as they come.
