What Goes Around
- or: Everything Old Is New Again
Is it possible that all this lost music was never really lost in the first place? First all that Beatles archival material turns up in a suitcase in Glebe, now, Mick Jones finds master tapes supposedly lost by a drunken roadie that were really in his basement all along. So many questions sprint immediately to mind, like whether anybody's apologized to the roadie yet? Sorry, mate, you may have been drunk, but you weren't incompetent. Also, as these were pre-London Calling recordings, are the five unreleased songs the ones that would have made that album the great(er)recording than it was (or am I thinking of Sandinista?).
