Do It Now, the B-Side to This Is England from The Clash (MKII) released in september 1985. One of the better MKII songs if you ask me, though that doesn't say as much as you'd hope it would.
Credited to Strummer & Co on the single release, but since This Is England was changed to Strummer & Rhodes to Cut The Crap's release and it kinda sounds like it, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that this song too has at the very least some slight touch of Rhodes on it, and throw in a pic of him just for good measure. Betcha it's the only pic of Rhodes in a music video on all of KZfaq. Yay, I'm unique!
Couldn't find any lyrics for this. I probably should sit down and try to get them myself, but too tired currently. Might get around to it eventually unless some merciful soul takes it upon himself to do it first.
RIP Joe

''do you play for arsenal, or are you in the top 10'' with the way their seasons looking right now this is yet another example of joes lyrics staying so relevant overtime!

Total respect to the person putting up B Sides and other Clash songs most people have never heard. I love all Clash songs but they were so much more than Rock The Casbah.

Agreed, the whole CR album was a disappointment. Even Cut the Crap had a few better songs despite the ridiculous production.

This song is better than almost all of the songs on Cut the Crap. Thanks for uploading.

+Agata CapaFan Thanks, yeah This Is England, We Are The Clash and Three Card Trick are probably the best songs on Cut the Crap. If you search on KZfaq you can find the demos for that album all in one video, and they haven't been produced by Bernie Rhodes yet so they don't sound like crap. This song also sounds like it was not ruined by Rhodes, but is it just me or does the bass sound kinda flat or something?

Sex Mad Roar too is great. Also a full band recording. Don't know why there wasn't more. Maybe because Joe's mother were terrible ill, and he just left the band and didn't care what Bernie did with the band.

This song had potential but the production is just awful. Mick Jones would have made it into a great song.

thankfully, Mohawk Revenge has corrected the abomination that Bernie made all those years ago.

I bought the album and I it is clear to me how there seems to be such a difference, musically, between Mick and Jones, there's nothing wrong with that, but still, I think, imo, Joe and Mick, indeed, complemented each other, in other words, they needed each other for that special dynamic.

The songs are ok, but soundwise it's the worst album by the Clash. The production is just not good enough having in mind that the Clash were a massive band at the time.

@amanda blood, Sandinista! is MUCH better. Many amazing hidden gems on that album! Up In Heaven, Somebody Got Murdered, One More Time - and more great songs. Cut the Crap is just crap.

@strumbolli 6 жыл бұрын

The production doesn't help makes it sound dated and like nothing else recorded by The Clash, but you're right it should never have been under The Clash name, much like the Velvet Undergrounds Squeeze album

@violetsky5202 3 жыл бұрын

And rightly so. 2 of the Clash’s best musicians were gone by then and it wasn’t really the Clash anymore. More like Joe and a drum machine.

Good song, would've worked well in the Mick era doing backing vocals instead of that terrace chanting in the chorus and with Micks melodic guitar over it.

Ok just listened to whole album and I gotta say the only awful track on here is the dictator, the rest had some pretty fun and enjoyable songs with some unfortunate drum machines. Fingerpoppin' is also not good, but This is England, Dirty Punk and We are the Clash make this album worth listening to IMO.

@JCStorm76 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed. It’s nowhere near as bad as most people say

@xxRafaelProductions Жыл бұрын

Same, Dictator was the WORST opening track possible, but Dirty Punk and onwards were all decent enough songs (especially This is England or Cool Under Heat)
