@Blashada this is an instrumentally-inclined reworking of the track which the guys were reknowned for producing in the latter part of their career, particularly when Don Letts entered the scene. it probably was a club favorite in the day.
This was on the flip side of the UK release 12". Far superior to the original (that is still a classic) imho, just because of the mad bassline and the infectious hook and shortened lyrics. A perfect disco anthem and one that will fit well into any slow funky house set.
@fantasyexctasy MTV's '120 Minutes' occasionally had some good stuff on it, but for the most part MTV has always played a lot of trash and is definitely the most visible offender. The internet has been great, but I think the best source of finding good music will always be live shows. Plus it helps get the bands paid so they can keep making music.
Is it just me or is most of the words missings its like "ok were going to sing half the lines oh what the hell lets just get the audience to sing for us they will never know the difference"
Believe it or not, this version of Rock the Casbah was played periodically on album rock radio back in 1982. Back then, FM album rock stations would play import versions of songs and this was one of them. The import versions were usually mixed longer and different. Sometimes the promo copies were different also. The Shariff............................................Rock the Casbah, ROCK!!
@splitenzfreak1980 Me too... I play bass (or at least try to) and just the mastery displayed in the bassline blows me away. Doesn't hurt that the song is incredibly funky. The Clash in their hey day were really something special.
@yeepster - Wrong, if it wasn't for MTV showcasing these fabulous groups from around the Globe, the world would have missed out on brilliant '80's music from "MJ" to "Tears for Fears"!
Total bollocks. "Hey, let's take a song from one of the greatest punk bands ever and throw in a ton of Garageband loops to rip every last drop of passion and difference out of the song" Rant over but Jesus Christ..
This is a great remix. There is a way of making an unofficial instrumental use parts from thr studio version and this. Im gonna do it sometime. This is REAL music. Real Entertaining Awsome Lasting
@yeepster agree... however, when I was a kid i remember i absolutely LOVED this video. Well the video for Rock the Casbah... So MTV was a good thing for a short span, it just imploded at some point.
@blashada Chill mate! This is one of many remixes, from one of the GREATEST bands ever!!! Enjoy it for what it is and if you want more, well get out your copy of Combat Rock!!!
Bassline, drums, guitar = EPIC song that's ageless.
Bless you for uploading this cut! I still listen to this version, whenever I want to hear this song!👊😎
ahhhh...takes me back to high school....mad parties....plucking this bass line on an open baby grand piano...oh the memories.... : )
