  • Q: Why is this titled a Clash cover? Don't get me wrong, The Clash version is awesome, but it's a Junior Murvin cover, right?

  • @tonyrossDCPL It's a Junior Murvin and Lee Perry cover, right? :D

  • That is Joe, I should know I spent far to much of my 20's following The 101ers and The Clash around the country!

  • @tonyrossDCPL

    You are 100% correct my friend, from wikipedia:

    "Police and Thieves" is a well-known reggae song, first recorded in the Jamaican reggae style by the falsetto singer Junior Murvin in 1976 (Island WIP 6316), and one year later in a punk-reggae version by The Clash. Murvin's first commentary was "They have destroyed Jah work!"

    I doubt very much that Joe Strummer or Billy Bragg were involved in this recording.

  • @madtwatter88 england is a monarchy, retard.

  • when the revolution finally comes madtwatter88 will be among those first put to the wall and shot, if troll disease doesn't get him first! And a general thing for all you nazi twats: the thousand year reich didn't actully get to enjoy its thiteenth birthday, so 99.87% of it was a bust, and if that doesn't make you think, then consider hitlers honeymoon, he got to shoot himself, poison his wife and best dog, then he got burned in a ditch, while being mostly responsible for 60 million deaths. YAY!

  • @madtwatter88 I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT U SAID BUT BANDWAGON,

    YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE WHY THE FUCK YOU DO THIS? FUCK YOU FASCIST! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! BILLY BRAGG IS JESUS

  • Nice guitar.

    But i agree no Strummer or Billy in sight.

  • That absolutely IS Joe Strummer

  • Joe Strummer is not singing anywhere here. I don't know who that is singing but it's neither Joe Strummer or or Billy Bragg, although that's obviously Billy Bragg you can hear speaking at certain points, before and after the song. I still dig it. Just saying, it's not Joe Strummer.
