Received this as an expected freebie in the post and did really enjoy it, also learning about bootlegs I wasn't aware of. Loads of great images and thorough research into the Clash gig history, vinyl/cd/video/dvds with many anecdotes and reviews. I have to point out the error, re the dates listed for the Out on Parole tour in the summer of 78. The 6th July gig has Chester Leisure Centre listed as the venue. Not correct. It took place at the Kinema Ballroom in Dunfermline on that day. I was there. In the film Rude Boy, Tommy Gun was filmed there plus, in the dvd extras, White Riot was also filmed at the Kinema. Great read.
