Description
Originally released in May 1982, Combat Rock is the final album from The Clash line up of Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon. Featuring two of the bands most well-known songs, Should I Stay Or Should I Go and Rock The Casbah. This release comes with an additional 12 tracks compiled by The Clash. Having returned to London following their pivotal 17 show residency at New Yorks Bonds Casino in 1981, the band rehearsed and recorded at The Peoples Hall in the squatting Republic of Frestonia near Latimer Road in London and from there they embarked on a tour of the East and South East Asia, during which the album sleeve image was captured by Pennie Smith in Thailand. The tracks on The Peoples Hall chart the period from what was their last single Radio Clash right up to the release of Combat Rock, including unheard, rare and early versions of tracks. Also includes rare Pennie Smith images and a history of Frestonia essay by Tom Vague.
