Give Em Enough Rope is actually the first US release followed very closely by the US version of The Clash which swaps out Protex Blue, Deny, Cheat and 48 Hours for White Man, Complete Control and I Fought The Law, Clash City Rockers and Jail Guitar Doors. My copy also came with a 7" single of Groovy Times and Gates Of The West. Of course I had bought The Clash on import and then again as a US release and I seem to remember Epic/CBS still got the track listing out of order on the back of the LP.<br />I'm a real fan of Give Em Enough Rope, even if it's heavy on the Punk/Metal feel at times. Stay Free is one of my top 5 Clash songs and I love All The Young Punks (Their Mott The Hoople moment) and Tommy Gun. Even with the commercial "sheen" of Pearlman, the band still managed a shambolic affair and Pearlman's decision to mix up Topper's drums over Strummer's vocal - which he hated, makes things more gloriously messy.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408194908462305523.post-73418080976379164382015-03-14T17:34:53.640+00:002015-03-14T17:34:53.640+00:00Great week of Johnny themed songs SA.
