Description
As part of the Jo Strumer Memorial Project, Living Legend Don Letts has created a cover version of THE CLASH's "LONDON CALLING".
With the first pressing sold out, it has been REPRESSED with a new jacket design!!! The new design also pays homage to THE CLASH's US pressing. Released in time for the Japan tour of MASSIVE ATTACK's DADDY G and DON LETTS.
True to DON LETTS, who continues to push boundaries and remains active at the forefront, it has been finished as a modern electric dub version.
Former B.A.D. member DAN DONOVAN and dub artist DUBMATIX participated in the production. In addition, MIGHTY CROWN / MASTA SIMON, with whom Don Letts deepened his friendship during the 2024 Don Letts Japan Tour, participates as the intro MC. MASTA SIMON, who jumped on the mic during DON LETTS's Tokyo performance in 2024 and stirred up a whirlwind of excitement on the dance floor, delivers an intro MC that feels like a recreation of that night. As MIGHTY CROWN is currently on hiatus, MASTA SIMON participated especially for DON LETTS, making this a special dub version.
The jacket uses a secret take of the iconic photo of DON LETTS heading toward a police force, famous as the cover art for “THE CLASH/BLACK MARKET CLASH”. The artwork, which makes you want to display it alongside THE CLASH's original 10-inch, was created by graphic artist Kosuke Kawamura.
This is the first sound release from REBEL DREAD HARDWARE, a project in which DON LETTS is a member.
