New version incorporating further improved sound quality and fully corrected
artwork rendered by Simmdale during February 2008.

This is generally acknowledged as one of the top three obtainable bootlegs from The Clash. This is the unreleased original version of 'Combat Rock' album as produced by Mick Jones in 1981, along with the newly discovered (this CD-R boot came out in 2002, but these tracks had been much traded in bootleg circles long before) instrumental track titled "Walk Evil Talk." By far, these tracks are in their best sound quality here and much improved over all of the previously traded sources. And, this is the second version of this boot which had edited corrections applied of mistracking errors on two songs from the first version batch of this bootleg that surfaced.

Combat Rock was originally planned as a double album with the working title Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg, but the idea was scrapped after internal wrangling within the group. Mick Jones had produced the first cut, but the other members were dissatisfied and producing duties were handed to Glyn Johns, at which point the album became a single LP. The original cut has since been obtained and subsequently bootlegged.
