The really rather exciting up coming Clash Legacy Edition collection will feature five previously unreleased tracks. The three disc collection will feature a remastered version of 1979's 'London Calling', a DVD about the making of that album and a rarities disk called 'The Vanilla Tapes' which features 21 rehearsal sessions which were recently discovered on a tape by Mick Jones.
Those sessions include three tracks which later morphed into different songs - 'Working and Waiting' which became 'Clampdown', 'Paul's Tune' which was a forerunner of 'The Guns of Brixton' and 'Up-Toon' which was developed into 'The Right Profile'. There is also a cover of Bob Dylan's 'The Man in Me' and an early version of the album's title track with different lyrics and song structure.
The DVD documentary has been produced by longtime associate and general legend Don Letts (I met him the other day and am still overawed by the whole experience!) and features previously unreleased studio footage, promo videos, live clips and interviews with the whole band.
