The Clash Joe is back!
But now Toppers gone. The band account for their strange recent developments not least the fact they're in the charts. Page 62

Dave Gahan Depeche Mode
Page 31 "All the big punk bands are just sell-out groups anyway," says Andy. "Take The Clash, right, they go about politics 'n' everything yet they're on the most capitalist label in the world!"
"A serious rethink"
NME MAY 1 Ahead of a UK tour, Joe Strummer goes missing...
The Clash postponed the first two dates in their "Know Your Rights" UK tour this week - at Aberdeen (Monday) and Inverness (Tuesday) - because lead singer Joe Strummer has gone missing. And the remaining 18 dates in their schedule are in jeopardy, unless he shows up without further delay. Page 40
The Clash Combat Rock CBS
With macabre irony, The Clash present their would-be assassins with the first round without a shot. page 50
"A real shock" full feature, Joe Strummer going AWoL
In spite of setbacks - Joe Strummer going AWoL; topper leaving - things are going better than ever for tHE CLASH. Never mind the Falklands, Combat rock is in the top ten! Page 62
"You Jam fools", Letters comparing Jam to the Clash
After seeing The Jam at the Apollo this week, walking off stage after an hour (they did come back for an encore), it seemed to me that Paul Weller may have his principles mixed up. If The Clash can play for two-and-a-half hours at £3 a show (the Jam was £4.50) then why don't the Jam give a bit more? PAUL GORDON, Wyndway, Carrickfergus, NI (MM Apr 24)
It's quite simple, Paul. What takes Joe Strummer two-and-a-half hours to say, Weller's got over in the first half-hour and with far more literacy and power - Paolo Hewitt
live review of cure, critises The Clash
The Cure - that's a joke. More like a symptom. Where contemporaries like The Clash play-act toy soldiers, point fingers, stick their necks out and look stupid advocating simplistic slogans, where Killing Joke share and shoulder despondency, offer no glib solutions but rally round nonetheless in blind, bitter anger, The Cure are content to whimper slightly and wallow, mirroring the meaningless mess of our live...

We also have other iconic performances from the early punk years by the Sex Pistols, Generation X featuring Billy Idol, the Ramones, Patti Smith, New York Dolls, the Damned, X-Ray Spex, Dead Kennedys, Blondie and other great Clash footage spanning their entire career including a 40-minute set from the London Calling tour.
