The late George Harrison's Dark Horse label (now under the stewardship of Dhani Harrison and David Zonshine) relaunches with the release of Assembly from The Clash's late frontman Joe Strummer (1952-2002).  The newly-curated collection will be available on gatefold double-vinyl (in standard black and limited-edition red) as well as CD and download/streaming.  The 16-track anthology, newly remastered by Beatles associate Paul Hicks, draws from Strummer's solo catalogue including fan favorites such as "Coma Girl" and "Johnny Appleseed" as well as covers (Bob Marley's "Redemption Song") and soundtrack one-offs ("Love Kills," from 1986's Sid and Nancy).  While Strummer only released one proper solo album in his lifetime, he scored soundtracks, contributed songs to other films and compilations, and made appearances with such diverse musical partners as Michael Hutchence, Jools Holland, and Johnny Cash.  His best-known work outside of The Clash includes numerous albums as Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros; he also recorded with his group The Latino Rockabilly War.  Three previously unreleased tracks are featured here.
