Review

A Clash interview picture disc. It has a picture of Joe and Paul on side A and a pic of Joe on his own on side B. Strangely, they look like me to be photos that date from 1984/5. The interview itself features just Paul and Topper being asked various questions ranging from the new album (which at the time was Give 'Em Enough Rope), why Top Of The Pops is crap and the Sid Vicious incident. It's a good listen, and Paul seems to dominate the conversation somewhat, and even answers a question aimed at Topper. Not really characteristic of the quiet bass player, but he has a lot to say and comes across quite likeable, even though he's seems to be trying to sound confrontational.

Extra
