various artists - Uncut Presents: White Riot Vol. One (A Tribute To The Clash)

They can't all be winners, people, but as far as tribute records to the Clash go, I respect this one, because it leans into "Sandinista"-era Clash moreso than other Clash tributes, and there are some rather-unknown artists here (for me, at least), plus an unreleased Mescaleros track and a contemporary Stiff Little Fingers songs about Mssr. Strummer, and, anyway, this run on sentence has run on. Shit, it came free with a copy of Uncut...what more do you want out of life?

There's a Volume Two, as well, with some more familiar artists on it, and maybe I'll buy a copy one day and write a hundred words about that one also.
