Combat Rock Peoples Hall

This is a public service announcement...with bonus tracks! 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. As the follow-up to the sprawling triple album Sandinista!

Joe Strummer 001

When it comes to Joe Strummer, 001 is the number to watch.  That's the name of the upcoming box set that shines a deserved light on the late Clash frontman's work outside of his famous band - solo, with former bandmate Mick Jones, and with his 101ers and The Mescaleros.  001 arrives on September 28 from Ignition Records in an array of formats, including 2CD, 2CD Deluxe, 4LP, and a 2CD/4LP/7"/Cassette Super Deluxe edition. The first CD of 001 compiles 20 eclectic, previously released sides

Gary Wright and Wonderwheel Ring of Changes

In a career spanning seven decades, there's little Gary Wright hasn't accomplished.  Having earned a role on Broadway before hitting his teenage years, the musically-talented New Jersey native moved to London, formed Spooky Tooth, befriended George Harrison, played on hit records from Harrison, Ringo Starr and Harry Nilsson, and launched his own successful career with smashes like "Dreamweaver" and "Love is Alive."  But one chapter of the Gary Wright story has been long lost: his 1972 album Ring
