Joe Stummer 001 - Box of Assorted Treasure and all because the Lad loves The Clash



IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE A GROWN CLASH FAN MAN CRY and probably a few girls too ...

What's in the Box?
Although I have never been a die-hard Clash fan myself, I can't fail to be impressed with this beautiful intimate lovingly put together memorial to Joe Strummer for a life that has left such a mark on so many young punks and those that followed that might not, and now won't get, the chance to see him perform live. 

















You have Joe Strummer's notebook faithfully reproduced and there are his lyrics in his own handwriting.



And a cassette tape with Joe's original demo made back in the days when people made recordings and posted them off to record companies, one at a time ... or copied them on their boom boxes .... recorded from his London squat ...












And you get a little badge too. They've even kept in his cigarette that was airbrushed out of so many photographs.






















Let's not go to Amazon. I'm sure Joe would hate the sweat shop that Amazon is.
You can of course get a more expensive one from whatever shifty character is already charging loads more on Ebay, or you can order from here.
 it costs £94.99 and is available (free shipping) from HMV
