LISTEN

3 minutes that contain more energy than the whole bloated mid ’70s ‘Rock’ industry could produce across several double concept albums. Punk had arrived and immediately 80% of the music industry looked irrelevant. Possibly the most raucous and best couple of minutes the Clash ever produced and the first track of their first album.

For anyone too young to know – Janie Jones was involved in a sex for radio airplay scandal for which she was jailed.

Released 1977.

Available on the absolutely essential first Clash album ‘The Clash’: Amazon

the vault

Tracks are usually filed in the Vault in the year they were released. There are exceptions:

a. very old tracks tend to be filed in the year they were recorded and

b. anything that has been released for the first time many years after it was recorded has been filed in the year of recording rather than release.
