I have to agree. I think this holds its own with many of my favorites from Joe's Clash days.

I half think Joe with the Mescaleros is greater than Joe with The Clash. Love this song!

Ok: Because in a future moment when you are totally overcome with feeling and emotion, moved to shivering by this awesome piece, you would have no higher place to go than your already rated 10!

yeah, Roger Horne's Electronics class...
hook up a big fat capacitor to some AC, baby, and the timer is set! Soon, KABLAM, and funky acrid blue-silver smoke everywhere...
Oh, sorry, Mr. H, didn't mean for that to ... heh, heh...

I'm sure glad this album was recommended to me by a friend a couple years back. This album has the kind of authentic life and soul you don't expect from most artists later in their career.

The further artists stray from their gravy years, the more I worry about what they might release. Joe never lost the plot.

Start with Global A go-go, but they both have gems.


I agree on the Global A Go-Go. Both are great, but Go-go is one of my top ten.

It just occurred to me that on this song Joe sounds a bit like Keith Richards--that is if Keith could sing.
RIP, Joe. You were just getting your second wind.
