[edit] Single Change

Straight To Hell was released as a single. I know that there is a picture disk release. I believe it was a double A side with Should I Stay or Should I Go (I may be mistaken). I don't know if it was a radio single (probably not), but I know it had a single release.

[edit] Ghetto Defendant

Part of the song (the spoken part) sounds like it was taken from a movie or someone big recorded it. Does anyone know anything about it? Yank sox 13:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I believe in one of the booklets (possibly in The Clash on Broadway) they mention Allen Ginsberg did it during an improv session. Wikipedia in fact mentions this here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Ginsberg

This picture below at least shows Ginsberg with the band, though it doesn't mention the song specifically.

[edit] This article has been selected for Version 0.7

This article has been selected for Wikipedia Version 0.7. Version 0.7 aims to be a collection of around 30,000 articles taken from the English version of Wikipedia, compiled by the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team, due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year.

Please try to fix any urgent problems in this article.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of this article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. The version can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. The Editorial Team is planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. For more information, please see the WPClash's Talk Page.

[edit] Eclectic

Since "eclectic" isn't a specific genre, merely a description of their style, I have removed it from the side bar. Jubilee♫clipman 22:24, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Kurt Cobain

"Combat Rock was apparently one of the all-time favorite albums of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain."

Is there a source for this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.59.165 (talk) 18:31, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Walk Evil Talk

There is no citable source anywhere that the track "Walk Evil Talk" is even The Clash, let alone that it was ever intended to be in any way part of Combat Rock or Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg. No one who knows its history, or anyone in the band for that matter, has come forward with details about it. The tracklist for Rat Patrol should be restored to that which is found in a citable source, or at least on the majority of pre-"MP3 era" bootlegs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.82.85.13 (talk) 00:55, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
