It's been awhile since I've played my copy of the EU Tim Young cut, but I don't remember anything negative about it, and I've been listening to this album a long time. What also separated them from the mainstream (and punk) scene of the day was their willingness to experiment with worldbeats and music as varied as ska, reggae and dub.

An invaluable addition to the collection of anyone with an appreciation for raw, passionate music that refuses to conform. This live recording captures them in full flight at the legendary Bataclan in Paris, and the wild creative vision of Robert Wyatt's merry pranksters splays out from the ominous drum intro onwards, through towering crescendos of musicality that touch on noticeable album moments such as the 'Esther's Nose Job' suite from Volume Two to 'Moon In June', which would be released one year later on Third. The Clash's audacious creativity, relentless ambition, and bold, rebellious spirit coalesce, delivering an album that resounds with raw, unadulterated punk vitality.

The album received widespread acclaim and was ranked at number eight on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.This boundary-breaking record attests to the inexhaustible energy, audacious creativity, and fearless anarchistic spirit that has made The Clash legends of punk rock. It was released in the United Kingdom in December 1979 through CBS Records, and in the United States in January 1980 through Epic Records. Which swayed me to pony up for a NM 1st UK and I'm glad I did - although it wasn't cheap it is truly one of my best sounding records and jaw dropping. Review: In 1969 Soft Machine were truly growing into the otherworldly entity they're best known as now, moving on from the more psychedelia-rooted sound of the debut album into the broader expanse presented on Volume Two. The remasterting work that resulted in "Hits Back" is the same that was done to produce the "Sound System" box.
