This is a great package for any true Clash fan! I saw them 40 years ago playing pretty much the contents of disc 1 so I had to have this set and I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of the sound. Discs 1,2 and 4 very good considering their age and only disc 3 dips in sound quality but is still very listenable. As for the performances well this is The Clash tearing it up as only they could. Full of passion, fury and fire. Great set lists with a few rare songs thrown in ,'Julie's been working for the drug squad'!!!
I've been playing it in the car all week and it sounds superb! If you loved The Clash, get it!!!"
