The Beastie Boys should do something like this, reissue every single with every b-side in a huge box set. But the reason I'm posting this here is because Mike D wrote the intro in the accompanying book. I'm also a huge Clash fan, they're my second favourite band after the Beastie Boys.

...but.... why would anyone need this, except in a compulsive, junkie way?

Geez. I thought I was overboard for wanting Black Market Clash on CD (Original songs! original running order!). :rolleyes:

Well some of the b-sides are only available on these singles, plus it's a collector's thing. It's like if you want to own the original singles but you can't find them, here they are. Yeah sure it's all reissues, but the cover art and everything is the same. Plus it comes with a book with contributions by other musicians and some unseen photographs.

Like what? I thought most of that stuff was on CD, except maybe the three other versions of "This is Radio Clash" from the 12". Mustapha Dance is even on CD, isn't it?
