Buy from hereI just think that what Joe did with the Mescaleros and those records, and those songs, and those words, it was a very communal sound,” said Vedder. So, I guess the same digital transfer was used for mastering both vinyl and CDs right? For me it's a must have anyway, both versions are on their way. There’s so much great music that Joe left us in his archive,” says Joe’s widow and the executive producer, Lucinda Tait. “We started this work with ‘001’, so tofocuson Joe’s work with The Mescaleros was the natural second step on ‘002’ because those songs he made with them just seemed to resonate so strongly and reinvigorated his connection with his audience at a level he hadn’t experienced since his days with The Clash.

It is very nice. The artwork collects all sort of Strummer scribblings, drawings, random thoughts, notes about how he wanted the artwork and the credits on the sleeves to play out (even on the CD label... he was really fastidious about how his records would look! ...and as a fan I appreciate that), the book has plenty of pictures. The mastering is very good, I think it's an improvement over the originals but honestly I haven't really, painstakingly compared them. ABOUT USLouder Than War is a music, culture and media publication headed by The Membranes & Goldblade frontman John Robb. Online since 2010 it is one of the fastest-growing and most respected music-related publications on the net. As already pointed out, 001 was anthological, while 002 is thematic, so there are quite a few repetitions. I guess with 001 they wanted to taste the waters and see if there was a significant market.
