Steve Carey - Who’s at the piano ??

Calvin Pope - Steve Carey  - did the album have a piano in it?

Diane Pagel - Calvin Pope, on Julie's Been Working For The Drug Squad.

Pete Wrieden - Diane Pagel that is correct and it was played by the BOC keyboard player I want to say Allen Lanier....

Michael J Phillips - Pete Wrieden  - no it was played by Al Fields in the picture. i have seen comments in a book from either Strummer or Jones saying it was him. Trouble is I read so many Clash books I don’t recall which one?  maybe they were wrong?

Pete Wrieden - Michael J Phillips  - I read they brought him in and recorded but nothing really came of it… Sandy Pearlman produced and suggested using BOC keys player …. But who knows… as you said lots of different books around

Michael J Phillips - Pete Wrieden  - that is probably more feasible to be honest. Love that track. I remember my schoolmates being horrified that they had recorded a bonafide ‘rock and roll’ song lol!

Pete Wrieden - Michael J Phillips  - Ha....yeah....a real throw back tune.....keeping us all on our toes....!
