Description
Combat Rock / The People’s Hall is a brilliant collector’s piece that bridges The Clash’s iconic 1982 album with a deeper dive into their creative process.
Released as a special edition in 2022, this 2-CD set pairs the original Combat Rock album with The People’s Hall, a curated collection of 12 additional tracks. These recordings capture the band’s experimental energy and political edge during the early ’80s, including rare cuts, collaborations, and alternate versions. The packaging includes a 16-panel digisleeve, a fold-out poster with original liner notes, and a 12-page booklet chronicling the sessions at The People’s Hall in London’s Frestonia district. It’s a powerful time capsule — not just a reissue, but a narrative of The Clash’s evolution.
