2022 marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of the legendary Joe Strummer. Although he is best known as the frontman of The Clash, Strummer produced, between 1999 and 2002, some of his most exciting work with The Mescaleros. Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years is the first complete collection to spotlight this intense period of creativity and brings together the albums "Rock Art and the X-Ray Style" (1999), "Global A Go-Go" (2001), the posthumous "Streetcore" (2003), and "Vibes Compass", a brand-new compilation of 15 B-sides and rarities, including previously unheard tracks such as "Ocean of Dreams" (with Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols on guitar) and the first demos of some of the most beloved Mescaleros songs ("The Road To Rock 'N' Roll", "X-Ray Style" and many others), as well as some of the original recordings from Joe's very last sessions ("Coma Girl (Outtake)", "Fantastic" and "Get Down Moses (Outtake)"), all in one complete box set. All the albums have been remastered by Grammy Award-winning Paul Hicks (The Beatles - The Rolling Stones - John Lennon - David Bowie), and are presented in a richly illustrated box set, including new liner notes and interviews with Joe's friends, his collaborators and the members of The Mescaleros, as well as handwritten notes, lyrics and unpublished drawings by Joe from the Joe Strummer archives. The 4CD box set includes four reproduced lyric sheets and chord charts.
