A Joe Strummer compilation album featuring rare material and remasters is to be released later this year.
Titled Joe Strummer 001, it will arrive on September 28 and will feature a total of 32 tracks.
Those including an early demo of This Is England entitled Czechoslovak Song/Where Is England, a solo demo of Letsagetabitarockin recorded in 1975, outtakes from Sid & Nancy with Mick Jones and the unreleased songs Rose Of Erin, The Cool Impossible and London Is Burning – one of the last songs Strummer recorded with The Mescaleros.
To mark the announcement, a lyric video for London Is Burning has been released and can be watched below.
Following his death in December 2002, it was discovered that Strummer had a wealth of archive material, including lyrics and tapes, with the archiving of the tracks for Joe Strummer 001 overseen by Strummer’s widow Lucinda Tait and producer Robert Gordon McHarg III.
All tracks were restored and mastered by Grammy Award winner Peter J. Moore at the E. Room in Toronto.
