Here's a note from Gerald Manns who remixed/rebooted this..."Well, like everyone I was extremely disappointed when CTC was released in 1985. I knew the new songs from different bootlegs, like Bring The House Down, Five Alive etc. All the years after I was hoping for the existence of some mastertapes that were smuggled out of the studio in Munich by a mindful technician. But literature that was released decades later showed that Paul and Pete didn't take part in the recordings.
Last year I found two different audio editing softwares with different algorithms to separate vocals from an existing audio recording. The De-Berniator idea was born. So after ripping Joe's vocals from the tracks, cleaning them up (a lot of noisy bits, especially in The Dictator, had to be removed).
Next step was to get a good live performance of every song, copying Pete's drums beat by beat into a drum machine that sampled original drum sounds.
On songs The Clash didn't perform live I had to lay down the tracks in a Pete Howard stylee by myself. After that came listening, learning, rehearsing and recording guitars and basslines.
To get a better sound I had to buy a Les Paul to differ from my Telecaster sound (nice axe to have anyway). I had to add some backing vocals because the algorithms swallowed some of the football chants (didn't make them out as vocals). It took me a while to mix it all, but now it was time to kick it out of my house.
Especially in different Facebook groups are a lot of hate regarding the last line-up of The Clash. I think these were quite descent songs and a lot of fun to listen to now. For me, this is the CTC I expected and hoped for when it was released in 1985.
Feel free to spread these recordings wherever you like, maybe it will shine a better light on the last line-up.
Have fun!"

This, I always thought, was one of the stronger songs on the album and this rendition reinforces that belief. What an astounding recreation.

Seriously good. Amazing labor of love re-creating this. It’s time Nick, Pete and Vince got their due. The Clash at that time were trying to do something in an age of Thatcher and Reagan that literally no one else was trying to do: keep radical fires alive in the hearts of the people, and fight for that shit on a mass scale.

This recreation is brilliant. It's totally listenable now. Mick Jones should listen to this and add his producing and arranging majic skills to this; and voila you have a very British sounding follow on to Combat Rock. R u ready 4 war , 3 card trick a nd north and south are outstanding. Even life is wild and finger popping are much improved. Play it loud.

great work ! Hier ist eine Notiz von Gerald Manns, der dies remixte/rebootete … „Nun, wie alle anderen war ich extrem enttäuscht, als CTC 1985 veröffentlicht wurde. Ich kannte die neuen Songs von verschiedenen Bootlegs, wie Bring The House Down, Five Alive usw. Alle In den Jahren danach hoffte ich auf die Existenz einiger Mastertapes, die von einem aufmerksamen Techniker aus dem Studio in München geschmuggelt wurden, aber Jahrzehnte später veröffentlichte Literatur zeigte, dass Paul und Pete nicht an den Aufnahmen beteiligt waren. Letztes Jahr habe ich zwei verschiedene Audiobearbeitungsprogramme mit unterschiedlichen Algorithmen gefunden, um Gesang von einer bestehenden Audioaufnahme zu trennen. Die De-Berniator-Idee war geboren. Nachdem also Joes Vocals aus den Tracks gerissen wurden, wurden sie aufgeräumt (viele laute Teile, besonders in The Dictator, mussten entfernt werden). Der nächste Schritt bestand darin, eine gute Live-Performance von jedem Song hinzubekommen, indem man Petes Schlagzeug Beat für Beat in einen Drumcomputer kopierte, der Original-Drum-Sounds sampelte. Bei Songs, die The Clash nicht live gespielt hat, musste ich die Tracks im Stil von Pete Howard selbst einspielen. Danach folgte das Hören, Lernen, Proben und Aufnehmen von Gitarren und Basslines. Um einen besseren Sound zu bekommen, musste ich eine Les Paul kaufen, um mich von meinem Telecaster-Sound zu unterscheiden (schöne Axt sowieso). Ich musste ein paar Backing-Vocals hinzufügen, weil die Algorithmen einige der Fußballgesänge verschluckten (sie nicht als Gesang erkannten). Ich habe eine Weile gebraucht, um alles zu mischen, aber jetzt war es an der Zeit, es aus meinem Haus zu schmeißen. Vor allem in verschiedenen Facebook-Gruppen gibt es viel Hass auf die letzte Besetzung von The Clash. Ich denke, das waren ziemlich anständige Songs und es macht jetzt viel Spaß, sie zu hören. Für mich ist dies der CTC, den ich erwartet und erhofft habe, als er 1985 veröffentlicht wurde. Ihr könnt diese Aufnahmen gerne überall verbreiten, vielleicht wirft das ein besseres Licht auf das letzte Line-Up. Habe Spaß!" GMAN

Grossartige Arbeit.Endlich hört sich das Album nach The Clash an und nicht nach einem seelenlosen Computermix.Ich habe die Songs immer gemocht, die Platte aber trotzdem verkauft weil sie einfach schrecklich klingt.Jetzt wird es Zeit das ich mir diese Scheibe zulege.Hoffentlich gibt es die noch irgendwo.

I always liked Cut the Crap. I think its a great album. Better than Combat Rock in my opinion. Sorry.

I know of a few who've come to consider CTC better than Combat Rock, at least at the base level (i.e. remove the Bernie factor).

That is an astonishing job you have done here! Although I have lots of sentiment to original album and always was taking it as it was (tough love🙂) , always imagined CTC with live drums, etc. And here it is! May gods of rock flood your existence with promiscuous groupies and hangover-free booze
