Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years

Description

2022 marks 20 years since the passing of the legendary Joe Strummer. While best known as the frontman for The Clash, Strummer produced some of his most exciting work with The Mescaleros between 1999 and 2002. Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years is the first complete collection to highlight 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 unreleased tracks such as "Ocean of Dreams" (featuring Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols on guitar) and early demos of some of Mescaleros' most beloved tracks ("The Road To Rock 'N' Roll," "X-Ray Style" and many more), through to 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 albums have been remastered by Grammy Award winner Paul Hicks (The Beatles - The Rolling Stones - John Lennon - David Bowie), and are presented in a richly illustrated box set, featuring new liner notes and interviews with Joe's friends, collaborators, and members of The Mescaleros, as well as previously unseen handwritten notes, lyrics, and drawings from Joe's archives. The 4CD box set includes four reproduced lyric sheets and chord charts.
