Former Clash man Mick Jones has provided the hype, can the Libertines boys provide the goods? Well, time will tell, but anticipation for the next Libertines album grew yesterday when Mr Jones told Teletext that the band's new material, which he is co-producing, is "sensational" adding "a record as good as this only comes along once in a generation".
Reporting on his time in a West London studio with the Libertine boys, Jones continued: "I can't believe how good they've got, even since 'Up The Bracket' - and that was a great debut. A record as good as this only comes along once in a generation. Yeah, you had it with The Clash. And now it's The Libertines' turn".
