I Love You You, Big Dummy The Clash 01 Deny 02 I Know What To Think About You 03 I Never Did It? 04 How Can I Understand The Flies? 05 Janie Jones 06 Protex Blue 07 Mark Me Absent 08 Deadly Serious 09 What's My Name 10 Sitting At My Party 11 48 Hours 12 I'm So Bored With You 13 London's Burning 14 1977 1. Deny Same lyrics as recorded but going not to the 100 Club yet but the 69 club. 2. I Know What to Think About You Good song with the slow Who, Can’t Explain riff, lyrics “standing in the hospital room dead or aliveâ€, r’n’b type number with Gloria type middle section building back up to the chorus. 3. I Never Did It? “I could have been as rich as you “ fast and furious a Terry Chimes drum solo segues into 4. How Can I Understand the Flies? “How can I go to sleep for the flies†Ramones like simply structured song. 5. Janie Jones Some lyric changes but already sounds great. Mick sings the chorus (Joe later at the Roundhouse and there after). Mick sings I’m in love with Janie Jones etc not the later He. The tempo is so much slower at this point. 6. Protex Blue Spirited Mick vocal .Same lyrics as later. A nice punchy mature version 7. Mark Me Absent Song about schooldays written by Mick. R&B feel not to far akin to what Joe was doing with the 101ers prior to the Clash. 8. Deadly Serious Short fast song with a fast Can’t Explain riff. Used later as basis for Clash City Rockers though the resemblance is not noticeable. 9. What’s My Name A real highlight, lyric changes. Again like Janie Jones a much slower version than it would become in 1977. 10. Sitting at my Party Fast, furious but slight song. One of Micks old songs from the London SS days with Paul. 11. 48 Hours Same lyrics and structure as later recorded version. 12. I’m So Bored With You No punk snarl yet but sounds mature. A song about a girlfriend still and not the USA. Mainly different lyrics but indecipherable. 13. London’s Burning Another highlight, verses order changed and many lyric changes but nearly the fully formed classic. 14. 1977 Sounds great, another highlight, mainly same lyrics , structure but no 1977 – 1984 coda yet, instead Joe repeats the year 1977 (being in 1976 then) an Mick shouts out in between.
