The Clash remastered albums and rarities boxset announced
A new retrospective release has been announced by The Clash bassist Paul Simonon, who has compiled a boombox-shaped boxset from the punk band called The Clash Sound System.
The collection will feature the band’s first five studio albums - The Clash (1977), Give ‘Em Enough Rope (1978), London Calling(1979), Sandinista! (1980) and Combat Rock (1982) - all remastered, three rarities CDs, a DVD of unseen footage by Julien Temple and Don Letts, plus fanzines, posters, stickers, badges and more alike goodies.
“Remastering’s a really amazing thing,” Simonon said of the project. “That was the musical point of it all, because there’s so much there that you wouldn’t have heard before. It was like discovering stuff, because the advances in mastering are so immense”.
The boxset will be released on 9 September, along with 33-track compilation The Clash Hits Back. Watch a video trailer for the release below:
