The Clash - Bond Residency 1981 - 25th Anniversary Project (May 2006)

Saturday, December 17, 2005

Okay. I have finally started remaster project. 5/28/82 show is done, and I am currently working on few other show dates. I am looking for complete 5/31/82 show not sourced from the DAT transfers. I know I personally recorded 5/31/82 and 6/1/82 shows but cannot find the master cassette tapes at this moment. Bummer...

JulieJazz over at the Satch's Forum has done a brilliant job of recreating the Bond poster - you know the one with the big red star on yellow background. We hope to get a smaller version reproduced in time for the end of Bond Remaster Project.

2005_11_rolf.jpg... May 1981. The Clash is set to play the Bond International Casino in NYC's Times Square for what they thought would only be a week-long residency. The grand plan by Bernie Rhodes had been for the band to play selective cities around the world for few days instead of incessant touring visiting many cities. As Joe would say "It's the mountain coming to Mohammad." After Bond, it was to be Theatre Mogodore in Paris in September and to close out at the Lyceum in London in late October.

The project involves remastering of all 17 shows taking best sources when available. I am also thinking of including some sort of bonus disc whether it be an extra audio CD or a "Best Of..." 2 CD compilation.
