Caveat Emptor / 1
This is not so much a tribute album as a blatant cash in.

Basically, this album consists of former members of Chelsea, The Vibrators, The Alarm, 999, The Business (who the hell?), The Boys (again, who the hell?!?), RTZ Global (can't say I've ever heard of them!) Test Tube Babies and the UK Subs doing the most horrendous cover versions of old Clash songs imaginable. Basically, you'd expect the average pub karaoke version to be better than what's on this CD.

For instance, Mike Peters of The Alarm doing "White Man In Hammersmith Palais" and "London Calling" is even worse than you'd think it might sound. Which is no mean feat!

This is almost certainly the worst album I've ever bought.

And not only that: according to the liner notes, the album was recorded in November 2001, more than a year before Strummer died. To have repackaged it as a "tribute" to Joe is both crass and absurd.

Let the buyer beware.

Song "X-Ray Style (w. The Mescaleros)"

I see a million walk the city mile
The tickertape kings and the juveniles
Will anybody tell me which way to go
Will anybody come back on the C.B. radio

I'm counting the stars and the telegraph poles
And each one represents the hopes of a soul
You'd think that God wouldn't be so hard
When you see all the little children running, running in the backyard

On a Mississippi gourd with a Sub-Sahran song
Somebody is wailing in the financial district sun
Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile

Gonna make like Eddie on my rockabilly train
Gonna beat out the blues on my ball and chain
Oh, you can't pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun
There's people living now
who aint got no heart and ain't never had none

Down on the border they crawl all the way
To get a clip of living with a clean-all spray
Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile

You can't pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun
There's people living now
who aint got no heart and ain't never had none

I hear a payphone ringing out on murder mile
The sucker who picks up gets his number dialled
And all the sparkling waters that ever flowed
Could never wash down this town so clean that it glowed
And I need to see in an x-ray style
I need some rock art that don't come in a vial
Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile
