A black & white photo of the Clash, it was used for the cover of their first album.
From The Clash Facebook page: 1977, The Clash sign a recording contract with CBS Records. When asked about it Joe said “We signed to Columbia Records on 27 January 1977. Bernie Rhodes told us to sign the contract and we signed it. I suppose that he checked it out with his lawyer, but l’ve no idea.” Paul also said “I thought we were signing to Polydor. We were outside the Polydor building in a taxi but at the last minute Bernie said, ‘Right, over to Soho Square’. Within minutes we were signed to CBS.”

Yankee dollar talk to the dictators of the world
In fact, it's giving orders, and they can't afford to miss a word
I'm so bored with the USA
But what can I do?

In these days of evil presidentes,
Working for the clampdown,
But lately one or two has fully paid their due,
For working for the clampdown...

A Song A Day #276 The Clash: Stay Free. my favorite Clash song with Mick Jones on lead vocals. I had a bootleg of this show that I bought in HS. “for the rest of ya…”
#ASongADay #MusicSky #TheClash #StayFree #MickJones #TheOnlyBandThatMatters
NME article: CLASH: MICK GETS THE BOOT. Mick Jones has been sacked from The Clash. In a terse statement released by The Clash Office last week, the remaining members of the band claimed: "Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon have decided that Mick Jones should leave the group. It is felt that Jones has drifted apart from the original idea of The Clash. In future, it will allow Joe and Paul to get on with the job The Clash set out to go from the beginning."
September 10, 1983 - New Music Express.
The Clash kick-out Mick Jones.
Essentially the end of the band. The next album, Cut the Crap, was their last and only had 1 or 2 OK songs on it.

In The Rock 9/1/1983: The Clash unceremoniously fire Mick Jones, due to his “problematic behavior and divergent musical aspirations”, effectively ending the band’s trajectory as one of the last, best bands of the punk movement. #TheClash #MickJones #TheOnlyBandThatMatters
Joe Strummer in MYSTERY TRAIN was pretty righteous.
#TheOnlyBandThatMatters
The Clash ont bâti leur répertoire sur ce thème. Strummer était un excellent reporter de la stupidité humaine!
Excellent choix de musique dood, you have great taste. 😁
