A great collection of dub material from The Clash, who explored this genre very deeply from 1980 onwards with Mikey Dread, who as Bill Price put it, added "Genuine Jamaican dub" to the Clash's music. This CD collects material from Sandinista! and Super Black Market Clash along with a few songs no longer in print. The songs are all remixes (apart from track 14) of other songs that you will be familiar with, but in case you don't know which songs they are remixes of, here's the list:

The Magnificent Dance - The Magnificent Seven
Justice Tonight / Kick It Over - Armagideon Time
Robber Dub - Bankrobber
Living In Fame - If Music Could Talk
Silicone On Sapphire - Washington Bullets
The Cool Out - The Call Up
One More Dub - One More Time
The Escapades Of Futura Dub - The Escapades Of Futura 2000
Version Pardner - Junco Partner
Outside Broadcast / Radio 5 - This Is Radio Clash
Mustapha Dance - Rock The Casbah
Mensforth Dub - Something About England
Return To Brixton - The Guns Of Brixton
Radio One (Reprise) is a short playing of the Mikey Dread b-side. The full version can be found on Rocker Station. The Escapades Of Futura 2000 (which The Escapades Of Futura Dub is based on) can also be found on Rocker Station, along with a demo version of the song.


Mensforth Dub is very similar to Mensforth Hill which is found on Sandinista!. Both are remixes of Something About England, and seem to be some of that song played backwards. Mensforth Dub is not available anywhere else (officially or unofficially) that I know of.

A great CD that collects together the best of the band's musical exploration into dub, along with some interesting rarities.
