As a wee celebration I thought we'd dig out The Cost of Living EP which contains their cover of I Fought The Law, and a reworking of Capital Radio plus at the time two newer songs Groovy Times and Gates of the West (which is one of my favourite tunes by the Westway Wonders).

On this day in 1952 a chap called John Graham Mellor entered the world, he would go on to be known as Joe Strummer, front man of The Clash.
As a wee celebration I thought we'd dig out The Cost of Living EP which contains their cover of I Fought The Law, and a reworking of Capital Radio plus at the time two newer songs Groovy Times and Gates of the West (which is one of my favourite tunes by the Westway Wonders).
