While searching through my vinyl vault yeserday, I came across a couple forgotten Joe Strummer releases.

The 101er's was the pub rock band Strummer was in prior to forming the Clash. What's interesting about this release is that Strummer singing style isn't much different than it is in the Clash. The band was clearily influenced by the early US rock n' roll records. This following info from the allmusic review of the record. "[Elgin Avenue Breakdown has never received wide release, and has been intermittently been available on vinyl and CD of questionable legality.]"

The 12" released prior to "Earthquake Weather", not stunning but interesting considering the long lapses in time between the last Clash record this and the first Mescalros record.
The Walker Soundtrack is later. And maybe even the couple tracks on the Permanent Record soundtrack.
