A previously unreleased demo of Joe Stummer’s This Is England has received a lyric video.
Czechoslovak Song / Where Is England was recorded in 1983 during sessions for the Cut The Crap album and features Strummer on vocals and guitar, Paul Simonon on bass and Pete Howard on drums.
The song will feature on Joe Strummer 001 which will launch on Friday (September 28). It'll contain a total of 32 tracks, including rare cuts and remasters from Strummer’s career outside of The Clash.
Along with Czechoslovak Song/Where Is England, the record will also have a demo of Letsagetabitarockin recorded in 1975, outtakes from Sid & Nancy with Mick Jones, and the unreleased songs Rose Of Erin, The Cool Impossible and London Is Burning – one of the last songs Strummer recorded with The Mescaleros.
Strummer’s widow Lucinda Tait oversaw the compilation along with producer and art director Robert Gordon McHarg III. All 32 tracks were restored and mastered at the E. Room in Toronto by Grammy winner Peter J. Moore.
