A friend of mine went the other day.
It includes that Iconic photo used on the front of London Calling.

One of the best bands ever imo

I went on Saturday - very good.
But is in quite a small area and was very busy.
I’ll go again when hopefully it’s quieter.

Well worth a visit - and I Particularly liked the references to Elvis album cover.

WOW!! How long has Osterley train station been defunct?
Perfect station for dodging fare back in the day

I went to the opening party. It's small but excellent.... Will definitely be going again.
If you are a Clash fan, or had the opportunity to see them when London Calling came out, there's some great pieces like hand written lyrics, items of clothing and guitars that you might recognise. I saw them play a lot of times - brought back some great memories....

Unless you're 95ish Pom, I'd say you'd recognize and still have a good crack at evading the fare at Osterley.

Pleased to see it is on for so long as well. I have no excuse to not see that.

I went to see it on Monday lunchtime with a bloke from work.

It's small, there's a Liam Brady Arsenal scarf, nothing about QPR. And nary a mention of XTC.

Good if you like broken bass guitars and pictures of Maggie winning the '79 election.

I had soup for lunch. Nice.

I often find soup a little underwhelming. Rice, too.

Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

Am going to try to get along to see this on Saturday. I only saw them twice but the first time was just after London Calling came out, so presumably 40 years ago in Jan/feb. Sixteen Tons tour or something like that anyway.

I don't have anything about the Clash from that era - zilch. No programmes, tickets nothing. I had a couple of copies of Armagideon Times but my mum and dad threw out all that 'junk' when they moved house.

I think the best dozen tracks from Sandinista would make one of the greatest albums ever.

The London Calling (BBC World Service) magazine was first published in 1939. Working in the bush, jungle or desert etc. I was thankful for this guide to programmes on my Short Wave radio.

I went on Saturday too. I was amazed at both how small the allocated space was and how many people were there. It was rammed and with more younger people than old gits like me. Will try to get there again when it's likely to be less busy than it was on Saturday afternoon.

Got a couple of tickets for the 'gig' at the BFI, which is a rare chance to see the remaining three talking together.

Yeah here's the link. I joined the BFI to get in the priority booking and I think tha tit sold out in ten minutes. Even then I got pretty crap seats, but I'm not complaining.

Sorry Hud, only just seen this and we could have chatted about this at half time the other night. It has given me a great chance to revisit this album though and I am going to do a spotify playlist of these now.

For me it is these -
Magnificent Seven
Junco Partner
Something About England
The Rebel Waltz
The Crooked Beat
Somebody Got Murdered
One More Time/
One More Dub
Up in Heaven
The Equaliser
The Call Up
Washington Bullets
Broadway

I know that is a bakers dozen but I am treating One More Time and Dub as one track.

Amazing to think that "Spanish Bombs" came out half-way between the end of the Spanish Civil War and today.




(Doesn't make it any good though!)
