I've only just found out about this album which was the original Mick Jones mix of Combat Rock which was never issued. Does anyone know if it is worth getting? As there are a few copies on ebay now but they are a bit pricey.



Experience Combat Rock as Mick Jones recorded it originally. Under the working title Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg the Clash recorded what was to be Combat Rock.

Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg

Disatisfied with Micks mixes the band went back into the studio and re-recorded or remixed considerably or ditched completely those original recordings. Here on this 2 Cd set you can relive the Combat Rock as Mick originally intended it including the previously unheard tracks. See track list below..

The sound quality is very good and the gatefold artwork with all the lyrics from the songs you've heard and those you havenÕt makes this a great collectors item. This is a must have for any Clash fan.

Disc 2 contains bonus material of instrumental versions, remixed instrumentals and demos and again is a completely different way of listening to Combat Rock/Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg tracks.
