hmm.. unusually inarticulate writing from mac there, more school shootings in the states, whats going wrong with the World?
A couple of pink gins will do that to a man.
I downloaded that file this morning and had a look through it, there really isn't much to get excited about. I've never really been a fan of that original half-finished version of Combat Rock, and to be honest Mick Jones' mix sucks. Sounds to me like someone has tried their best to clean up the tracks with a couple of cheap audio plug-ins, and that just makes it all sound even weaker.
There are some other collections of studio out-takes and alternate versions out there which are a lot more interesting - Elvis Has Left The Building, for example, which is mainly Sandinista! era stuff or DOA which collects some pre-first album demos and a couple of GEER era oddities.
Hell W10 is entirely new to me though. Sounds like Strummer reused most of it as Trash City.
As for being a Clash bootleg kind of person - I go through phases of being hideously obsessive for a few months and then not caring for a year or so and then getting all obsessive again. Thankfully I've never been obsessive enough to listen to the entire LP they wrote, played and recorded for Ellen Foley.
