which was a case of the record co bring in the wrong type of producer for the band and thus resulting in poorer record... would like to hear the demos outtakes from these sessions, seeing at there were some good songs on that record just a bit to polished compared to s/t and london calling... safe european home, tommy gun, etc

[thirsty moore]

Agreed, Tommy Gun is a good song but is too cleaned up.  If it had the same bite as the song London Calling, it'd be a great song.
