Well, that, a triple album full of dub reggae and calypso, and the very next song…. The following year, it was Brixton. Operation Swamp — an attempt to curb street crime — had used the sus laws to stop 1, people in six days, the vast majority of them black.
Contrary to what their critics said, they were still singing about young men in the UK — it just so happened they were young black men. Part of Strummer mythology, the Spliff Bunker was a corner of the studio, surrounded by flight cases, where Joe could skin up and write — first adopted during the Sandinista! If Music Could Talk is, I think, jazz. Somebody Got Murdered is probably the most controversial omission.
The lyrics are trite and the tune is shite. Like the one, maybe, that Mick was raised in by his grandmother, overlooking the Westway. Washington Bullets The track that gives the album its title, Washington Bullets is an extraordinary song and a fitting end to our 48 minute version.
Often derided as worthy and sloganeering, Washington Bullets is anything but a dreary political anthem. So there you have it. Six sides of vinyl reduced to a tight, thematically cohesive 48 mins. If you wanted to really take liberties, you could maybe throw Bankrobber into the mix — released as a single ahead of the album, it was recorded in the same sessions.
Listen to this playlist on Spotify or Apple Music. The accepted wisdom on Give Em Enough Rope is that CBS brought in a big-name American producer — a guy from one of those dinosaur rock bands they so despised — in an attempt to turn into Journey or Toto. In fact, producer Sandy Pearlman was no real big name. While that first album was brilliantly parochial in its concerns, Rope widened the scope a little.
Elsewhere, male violence is castigated, drug-use ends in jail time and Julie — the only significant female in the whole narrative — gets the last laugh. Note: I have a theory that certain brilliant albums are always destined to be overlooked because they came in such godawful sleeves — packages that only a mother could love. That logo! That green! The Pistols: searing and sneering, nihilistic and iconic the artwork, the clothes.
