Not often we get to refer to the NME (OK it isn’t what it was) but it’s still the NME and it is a Joe story !
A previously unreleased live recording of ‘I Fought The Law’ has been released for a new version of the song’s music video as part of Joe Strummer‘s ‘Assembly’.
The posthumous compilation of Strummer’s career-best work, including The Clash rarities and re-mastered tracks, was released yesterday (March 26). With the compilation comes a new music video for ‘I Fought The Law’, The Clash’s 1979 cover of The Crickets’ 1961 original song.
Animated visuals accompany a freshly unearthed live recording of the track performed by Strummer and his backing band The Mescaleros at London’s Brixton Academy on November 24, 2001. You can watch below.
