Synopsis

VERY LIMITED RE-PRINT AVAILABLE NOW - WITH NEW SET OF COLLECTORS EXTRAS!!! COMBAT READY is the story of the making of the fifth and most commercially successful album by The Clash, released in 1982. After reading every book about the Clash I can lay my hands on, I feel it is time to write my own. I cover as much ground as I can, from the background of the band at the time, important world events, the musical climate, and the tears and tantrums. I include some of the main people involved in the album, preparations for the recording, the songs themselves, release dates and formats, and gather together some of those critical reviews. I take an in depth look at the various “alternative versions” of the album originally to be entitled “Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg”. The Clash continue to influence musicians and music lovers around the world, it was the “Combat Rock” album that truly broke the band on an International Level, and broke the band quite literally. The premise of my book is how on earth the album was ever released, bearing in mind the incredible saga that unfolded between mid 1981 and early 1983, and how it became such a hugely successful commercial release. LIMITED EDITION VERSION WITH OBI AND STICKER and features 10 Previously Unpublished Photos by JOE STRENO as well as other colour illustrations. In True Clash Style this is a DIY affair ****************************** Review By Bones of Repeat Fanzine ...."I can only tip my hat to Tim Satchwell for the obvious time and effort he has put into producing what is probably the most definitive record of the recording of any album. If you are a Clash fan, really there is only one question? Why haven't you already bought a copy?"
