PRE-ORDER: 101'ers / Joe Strummer - Joe Strummer 003: The 101’ers Years 1974-1976 [Deluxe 3 CD], 101'ers / Joe Strummer, CD

Dark Horse Records is proud to release Joe Strummer 003: The 101’ers Years, bringing together studio and live recordings from Joe Strummer’s pre-Clash band, The 101’ers. The 101’ers sound mixed rock & roll, R&B and rockabilly, just as punk was beginning to emerge. After the Sex Pistols opened for the band in 1976, Strummer was drawn to the new punk movement and soon left to join The Clash. The 101’ers brief run captures an important moment just before British punk changed everything. The 3CD deluxe edition features 48 tracks and is housed in a 48-page hardback book with slipcase. The book includes a foreword by Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock, a history of The 101’ers written by band member Richard Nother Dudanski, and illustrations and writings by Joe Strummer drawn from his archive. Limited Edition.
