Free Music Notes for Elgin Avenue Breakdown Revisited
Free Music Review: I've Got Rabies From the Dogs of Love for This Album!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the first review of an album I've done on Amazon. I'm listening to it right now, and I'm just driven to tell everyone.... this is awesome! I love it. It is a must for fans of Joe Strummer. Don't expect The Clash. This is nothing like any Clash album. This is very Beatles-esque for the most part. It shows a lot of early, leather-clad rock influence.
BTW, I bought the club version, which is manufactured for BMG. I was worried about that a bit, but no longer. Sounds awesome, and the packaging is excellent, with liner notes and lyrics. I was also worried about the anti-piracy notes on the back which are not present on the non-club version. I burn backup copies of my cds not to pirate, but to use in my car. I have successfully burned a backup copy of this and other club cds.
Free Music Review: An absolute gem from Joe Strummer's pre-Clash band
Hit: 5 Stars
For those who don't know, the 101'ers was the band that Joe Strummer led before he formed the Clash with Mick Jones, Paul Simonen and Terry Chimes.
I used to have the "Keys To Your Heart" single many years ago and I remember loving it. Little did I know that there were this many recorded tracks of the 101'ers, and I, for one, am ecstatic.
It's not as "punk" as the Clash, but it's still rough, driving rock with great hooks and Joe Strummer's signature vocals on top. If you are a Clash fan, you really owe it to yourself to get this great collection.
This album is so good I almost want to refer to it as the finding of the Punk Rock Holy Grail.
Free Music Review: AS GOOD AS ANY CLASH CD...OR BETTER!
Hit: 5 Stars
Yep, hard to believe ANYTHING could be better than the Clash, but w/this release, the truth is in the hearing. First off, the production is great; Joe is in excellent form, and you can tell what a future leader in the punk movement he is even in the 101er's. Songs fit the classic British Pub Movement style; garage driven short tunes w/ear candy melodies that act like a consant cassette in your brain and cannot be ejected. More than some of their classmates in the pre-punk daze, Joe & Co. inject feeling, emotion, and energy that is captured on disk and blasted through your speakers. The hit Keys to Your Heart is here with many other classic sounding songs. ExcellentFree Music Review: Bloody brilliant!
Hit: 5 Stars
This record feels like a resurrection not only of the sound of original punk but of the man, Joe Strummer himself. The sound of the 101ers is every bit as fresh as his later work with The Mescaleros yet takes its place with the music of its time. Letsagetabitarockin, the first on the album, is a brilliant start to the collection. Overall this record is one that should be added to any avid Clash, punk, or in general rock 'n roll fan.Free Music Review: A must have....
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great release. Too bad it wasn't released when Joe was alive. This a great archive for not only Joe Strummer/Clash fans but for those interested in the history of underground music. It is very interesting to hear echo's and threads of the 101'ers in Streetcore. Many of these 30 year old 101'ers songs have more energy and vitality than much of what is released today.
