The Clash is on the cover of the latest edition of Uncut magazine in the U.K., featuring interviews with Topper Headon, Mick Jones, and Paul Simonon about the making of "Sandinista!"

The magazine also comes with a bonus CD of 15 tracks that Joe Strummer featured on his “London Calling” BBC World Service show.

Former Clash star Mick Jones hopped on to a different type of tour bus – as he loaded his rock and roll archive on to a double-decker.

The guitarist, who has a huge collection of memorabilia dating back to his punk days, is taking his stash out on the road in a bus designed by another music legend, artist Sir Peter Blake.

Joe Strummer's sudden death on Dec. 22, 2002 left many of his friends and fans in shock. But after the mourning was over, it was time to celebrate the former Clash singer/guitarist's love of music and use it to help others.

Clash and now Carbon/Silicon member Mick Jones is taking part in Uncut's Audience With feature... and we'd love to hear your questions! Hurry, deadline is Tuesday

Originally released in 1985, This Is Big Audio Dynamite is a groundbreaking and highly influential album which perfectly blends New York beats, Jamaican bass lines, ear-bending cinematic samples, and British guitar rock. Before the Rap meets Rock cultural paradigm, before the meshing of musical genres became the norm – there was Big Audio Dynamite, led by ex-Clash guitarist/vocalist Mick Jones. This landmark album now includes a second disc of 12 bonus tracks comprising rare U.S. and U.K. 12-inch remixes, edits, dub versions, outtakes, and B-sides – five of them previously unreleased.

So, I begin putting together this list of albums from 1980. Except the list then sprawls out of control. I thought 1985 was tough? 1980 ended up with over 140 possible candidates, forcing me to break this blog into two parts. It could've been three, but I don't wish to wear out my welcome. I see you opening the front door and gesturing. I'll just grab your mail and be on my way. Hopefully, you have an aunt that sends you cash.

For the last 40 years Jones has been hoarding memorabilia from his explorations through popular culture. As The Clash's lead guitarist he stood at the very heart of the punk movement, and with songs like White Riot and London's Burning he and the late Joe Strummer articulated the tensions simmering in the suburbs.
