Originally released in May 1982, ‘Combat Rock’ is the final album from The Clash line up of Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon. Featuring two of the band’s most well-known songs, ‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go’ and ‘Rock The Casbah’. Now rereleased as a 180gm 3LP special edition, with an additional 12 tracks compiled by The Clash.
Having returned to London following their pivotal 17 show residency at New York’s Bond’s Casino in 1981, the band rehearsed and recorded at The People’s Hall in the squatting Republic of Frestonia near Latimer Road in London and from there they embarked on a tour of the East and South East Asia, during which the album sleeve image was captured by Pennie Smith in Thailand.
The tracks on ‘The People’s Hall’ chart the period from what was their last single Radio Clash right up to the release of Combat Rock, including unheard, rare and early versions of tracks.
Also includes rare Pennie Smith images + history of Frestonia essay by Tom Vague.

Aged to perfection at 31 years young, 76:14:00 is described as "unfathomably beautiful out-of-time
masterpiece“ in The Guardian's ‘1,000 Albums to Hear Before You Die’ list. Certainly, on release it was clear
that it was something special, and not just because it was named after its total running time (though in fact
it is shorter) and each track is also titled after its respective length.
Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard, the duo behind Global Communication and other aliases, stated in the
sleeve notes that this was intended to avoid the implication that there was any specific meaning or subject
mater to their compositions, leaving the listener free to interpret it according to their own imagination.
And as the record is a certified classic of 1990s ambient and electronic experimentalism (clearly influenced
by greats like Vangelis and Brian Eno), sweetly melodic, soothing and largely beatless, it is almost
impossible to listen to it without eliciting extreme relaxation and flights of mental fancy.
As the Guardian put it, it’s a great example of a musical timeline that ran parallel to Britpop, “where
Orbital, not Oasis, were the most important band at Glastonbury and a couple of chaps in thrall to Detroit
techno, made an album while looking out over a field of cows in Somerset.”
