If it was not for\u00a0The Clash promoting authentic reggae via the media,\u00a0via namedrops\u00a0on original compositions and also covering some of the songs of the day, thousands of people, like me,\u00a0may not have been touched by this music. Sure there were other bands around the time also, and The Clash did attempt \u2018Police\u00a0And Thieves\u2019 and \u2018Pressure Drop\u2019 in a more punked up style, but when it came to 1979 this band found out that they were far from just a \u2018punk\u2019\u00a0band. With Mickey Gallagher and other musicians in tow, the band recorded the sessions that would result in the formidable \u2018London Calling\u2019 LP\u00a0way down deep in Highbury, North London.<\/p>\n Straight onto the B-Side of the massive \u2018London Calling\u2019 single goes \u2018Armagideon Time\u2019 a recent hit in JA for Willie Williams voiced onto a well known rhythm going way back, almost a decade before the Willie Williams hit. The Clash\u2019s version of this song is so good, even\u00a0champion soundman Fatman\u00a0carries the Clash\u00a0tune in the big\u00a0box marked \u2018Special\u2019. I know this for a fact as Daddy Fatman dropped it one night, when myself and Kevin Webb RIP ex-Conflict were the only non Rastas in the hall! The Rastas seemed to be cool with The Clash\u2019s version and the dub version, that was spun next\u2026<\/p>\n On the \u2018London Calling\u2019 LP one of the highlights (for me anyway) was\u00a0the band\u2019s version of Danny Ray\u2019s \u2018Revolution Rock\u2019.<\/p>\n A relatively recent import from 1977,\u00a0with the help of The Pioneers imprint Golden Age Records, this\u00a0rhythm\u00a0was cut several times, originally releasing \u2018Git Up\u2019 voiced by old Jamaican legend\u00a0Jackie Edwards, who had been around since the 1950\u2019s, and who had also helped Chris Blackwell organise Island Records at a time when Blackwell was selling records out of the back of his Austin Mini. Hope he got his cut further on down the line\u2026Probably not.<\/p>\n The much younger vocalist, and less well known in Root\u2019s than his favoured U.K. Lovers Rock circles, Danny Ray voiced this tune in the same year for Golden Age Records. This is the version that The Clash covered.<\/p>\n Eddy Grant\u2019s brother, Mexicano was taken into the Stoke Newington Coach House studios to voice the DJ cut, again for Golden Age Records. Incidently the rhythm for this track was originally created in Jamaica, but all the versions uploaded here\u00a0were voiced in the U.K.<\/p>\n *** Wanted to add\u00a0another track for Mick Slaughter from the \u2018Londons Calling\u2019\u00a0era Clash and the original track from way back on Rio Records by The Rulers. The Clash\u00a0copied the track with repect and even kept the false start on the recording!<\/p>\n The Rulers \u2013 Wrong Em Boyo \u2013 1966<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i192.photobucket.com\/albums\/z149\/pengy1966\/img633.jpg\")
