The Clash 'Bankrobber'
The Clash, ‘Bankrobber’, 1980. Mixed by Mikey Dread who was the support act when I saw them on the 16 Tons tour. First live reggae I’d ever heard. Dread at the controls! The Clash did good reggae, considering they were skinny white guys. They’d probably be accused of cultural appropriation now. Better than The Police anyway. Great loping bass line on this one and skanking feel.
