Strummer’s widow, Lucinda Tait, served as executive producer for ‘Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years’. So, I guess the same digital transfer was used for mastering both vinyl and CDs right? For me it's a must have anyway, both versions are on their way. don't throw away your old records because not all the original artwork is replicated here (let's say that the artwork references the originals, but with a certain degree of liberty. For instance, no printed lyrics). Great review from Richard. The box set is beautifully put together and I’m still working through it, I must admit I went straight to the demos, and I’ll enjoy them for a few days before moving on to the remixes. His words are so beautiful and honest and together with the Mescaleros some fantastic tunes were created and to listen to some of the tunes recorded as outtakes for me was really special.”

T HE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “2022 marks 20 years since the passing of the legendary Joe Strummer. While best known as the frontman for The Clash, between 1999-2002 Strummer produced some of his most exciting work alongside The Mescaleros. ABOUT USLouder Than War is a music, culture and media publication headed by The Membranes & Goldblade frontman John Robb. Online since 2010 it is one of the fastest-growing and most respected music-related publications on the net.

Strummer’s widow, Lucinda Tait, served as executive producer for ‘Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years’. In a press release, she spoke of how work on the upcoming release had in fact begun with 2018 box set ‘Joe Strummer 001’, a 32-song collection from across Strummer’s storied career. “There’s so much great music that Joe left us in his archive,” Tait said. Now, 20 years to the day since his passing, musical figures including Strummer’s own musical contemporaries have reflected on his death and paid tribute to his lasting musical legacy. Coming after the 2018 ‘001’ release, it pays fitting tribute to the recordings of a man who deeply touched the lives of so many people. What I’d dearly love to hear now is an ‘OO3’ set comprising of ‘live’ performances within the years covered in this release and I’m sure I will not be alone in anticipation of that. In the aforementioned interview, Lucinda hinted that the well is not dry concerning such a prospect, a welcome assurance I’m sure for many of us. The world may well have not yet heard the last from Joe Strummer and in my book, that’s a damned good thing. Looking at the world right now, many of us can only speculate as to what Joe would have made of the mass hysteria surrounding the passing of Elizabeth Windsor, the Ukraine conflict and acceleration of the western capitalist war machine, the neo-Fascist posturing of this arcane Tory Government and in broad terms, an era in which the interests of common people worldwide are evermore undermined by the energies of greed, power and profit. In a recent interview with Jeff Slate, Joe’s widow Lucinda Tait remarked that she was sure he’d be furiously busy ”banging away on his typewriter” if he was here today and it’s a vision which many across the world will share wistfully. When Joe Strummer passed, the west lost one of its most acutely tuned cultural observers and this box set provides beautifully assembled evidence of that.

There’s so much great music that Joe left us in his archive,” says Joe’s widow and the executive producer, Lucinda Tait. “We started this work with ‘001’, so tofocuson Joe’s work with The Mescaleros was the natural second step on ‘002’ because those songs he made with them just seemed to resonate so strongly and reinvigorated his connection with his audience at a level he hadn’t experienced since his days with The Clash. An official video featuring drawings and handwritten lyrics found in the Joe Strummer Archive is streaming now at YouTube HERE. Lucinda Tait will appear on a special ‘CFATR RESITANCE STREET RADIO SHOW’ dedicated to the ‘002’ release in October (Date to be announced) with Robin Banks, Dr Louise Raw and Richard David. The show will be aired ‘live’ on the PORTOBELLO RADIO platform in West London, with an accompanying podcast to be released shortly afterwards. I just think that what Joe did with the Mescaleros and those records, and those songs, and those words, it was a very communal sound,” said Vedder. J oe Strummer had quite an outstanding second act. For those who needed convincing, BMG/Ignition Records released Joe Strummer 001 in 2018, a double compilation that caught listeners up on the legendary punk singer’s post- Clash career. For those who need no convincing but remain completists at heart, there’s now Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years, a box set spanning a short but productive phase in Strummer’s career. Joe Strummer 002 combines all three albums released by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros between 1999 and 2003 and adds a fourth collection of mostly studio demos and outtakes named Vibes Compass.hours ago Yoshiki – UK Theatrical Release Date Announced for New Music Documentary: YOSHIKI: Under The Sky
