Joe Strummer’s unreleased songs are set to be released on a new album. It’s a new compilation featuring a rake of some of Strummer‘s rarest songs and is due for release later this year.
‘Joe Strummer 001’ is the first compilation to cover the legend’s music career outside of The Clash. It’ll feature 32 tracks and includes 12 previously unreleased songs, as well as known favourites from his recordings with the 101ers, The Mescaleros and his extensive soundtrack work.
Among the unreleased material is an early demo of ‘This Is England’ entitled ‘Czechoslovak Song/Where Is England,’ a solo demo of ‘Letsagetabitarockin’ recorded in Elgin Avenue in 1975, as well outtakes from ‘Sid & Nancy’ featuring Mick Jones and unreleased songs ‘Rose Of Erin’.
