This is a little mp3 bootleg that I know nothing about. It was called the “Out of Control Studio Sessions,” but I can’t find information about it. If anyone out there has a little background, please drop a comment about it. I suspect it’s from 1984, when Joe fired Topper and Mick, Terry came back, and Nick Sheppard of the The Cortinas and Vince White signed on with the band. It’s not great stuff, but “Pouring Rain” and “Rock N Roll City” got rejiggered much later by Joe solo, and become something much better. This is a curio for Clashfanatic. I don’t recommend it for the casual listener.
