White Riot : A Tribute To The Clash ... Vol.1 [Uncut Magazine]




Usually when I get a free cd with a magazine I have a listen or two at the most then it is put in a box in the attic along with the rest of them. Not this one though, or these two to be precise. The December 2003 issue of Uncut magazine came with 2 different compilations on the cover. Both were tributes to one of the greatest rock bands ever, The Clash. Nearly 30 different artists contributed their own takes on Clash songs showing just how far and wide the band's music has reached. From Edwyn Collins to Asian Dub Foundation and Jesse Malin to Joy Zipper there is bound to be something to suit everyone on here.
