Just make sure:

Do NOT rehash previous releases, full and proper gig releases, if you please.

With few exceptions, focus on the Topper & Mick years i.e. the REAL Clash: May 1977 - May 1982.

Complete gigs including Intros, encores and chat/tuning-up/ad libs between songs.

Represent The Clash year by year/tour by tour/country by country.

Get some of the guys from various fan websites (Satch's, Black Market Clash etc) to quality control any release. These fans know their stuff. There were 3 or 4 errors with the singles box release we haven't forgiven Sony for. Oh, you didn't know about them? Just ask.

My favourite gigs were 1979 - 1980, if that helps.
Anything from 1977-78, Bristol June 1980, Lyceum 1981.
