Legacy Recordings will release a 2CD or 3LP expansion of The Clash's Combat Rock for its 40th anniversary. The album comes with a bonus disc of 12 rare and unreleased tracks curated by the band's surviving members.  The People's Hall - the bonus set on this new expansion, comprising a bonus CD or three sides of two bonus LPs - is named for the squatted rehearsal/recording space that parts of Combat Rock were recorded at in Frestonia, a portion of London that, at the time, attempted to secede from the U.K. to form an independent republic. In addition to three original B-sides and outtakes from Rat Patrol, the set will include unreleased cuts like an alternate take of "Know Your Rights," the instrumental "He Who Dares or is Tired" and an alternate mix of a track by visual artist Futura 2000, a key collaborator with the group in the Combat Rock era.  Finally, a digital EP, out now and to be released on limited 7", features previously unreleased mixes of "Rock the Casbah" and album track "Red Angel Dragnet" powered by toasting vocals by the late Ranking Roger of The (English) Beat.
