Supporters can download all 17 tracks for just £1, or pay any amount. Each download is a donation that will go directly to the Foundation and will allow us to continue our work.
The album is leading with a brand new re-working of The Clash track “Rock The Casbah” by Ranking Roger (The Beat) and the remix has already been generating a buzz online.
“I want to be part of The Joe Strummer Foundation because I knew The Clash, what they stood for, and know the monies will go to the right places and towards young musicians who will get a chance they wouldn’t otherwise. Joe would be proud of this and all the people involved. “We miss you mate”. A visionary truly missed.” – Ranking Roger
