The Clash Spanish Bombs 1979 Rare Unedited Version

Not an extended version but something else. This song is not my favorite on this LP: bass drums and voices are a long flow. Only guitar is punching the tune.
Have a special flight in our DC10 tonight... Appreciate our special landing at the end of the trip.

This record does not exist, neither the cover.
Mixed at home
Copyright as usual : Clash+CBS record (in 1979, it was CBS)

[calvinlomax]

loving it anything and anybody who keeps the memory of the clash alive is ok by me

[HonorableMention]

1 of the greatest love songs of all time.

[lestoil]

I have to admit I was never crazy about this Clash number--but now I am. It's stripped down and basic which is ALWAYS how I love The Clash.

Lyrics::...
Spanish songs in Andalucía
The shooting sites in the days of '39
Oh, please, leave the vendanna open
Federico Lorca is dead and gone
Bullet holes in the cemetery walls
The black cars of the Guardia Civil
Spanish bombs on the Costa Rica
I'm flying in a DC 10 tonight

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón

Spanish weeks in my disco casino
The freedom fighters died upon the hill
They sang the red flag
They wore the black one
But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill
Back home the buses went up in flashes
The Irish tomb was drenched in blood
Spanish bombs shatter the hotels
My senorita's rose was nipped in the bud

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón

The hillsides ring with "Free the people"
Or can I hear the echo from the days of '39?
With trenches full of poets
The ragged army, fixin' bayonets to fight the other line
Spanish bombs rock the province
I'm hearing music from another time
Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava
I'm flying in on a DC 10 tonight

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
Yo te quiero, oh mi corazón
Oh mi corazón, oh mi corazón

Spanish songs in Andalucía, Mandolina, oh mi corazón
Spanish songs in Granada, oh mi corazón
Oh mi corazón, oh mi corazón
Oh mi corazón

[rickysongo]

The badly spanish makes this song so awesome:')

[ndenz]

It's insane how far ahead of it's time this song is. It's like they opened a portal to the 90's.

[beeolin]

In the other side, the guitar is damn nice in this version, greetings from mexico thanks for this :D

[geoffpilkerton]

Great version, new one on me, love it!!

[andyharman]

I love these alternative versions, especially the extended versions.

[fp]

Wow this version is way better and more atmospheric

[tavanweerd]

That's funny because this is one of the songs that turned me on to the Clash back around 81-82 it was import only here in the states and in Utah even rarer still. Love the song
oi fuck Ronny Ray-Gun

[michaelbpeenus]

Y'all are tripping this straight 🔥

[ConeFlower-gxqk]

Just was reading about George Orwell in the Spanish Civil War so this seems fitting

[mememastering]

this is a very cool reimagination. always thought spanish bombs was the clash at its peak. not the best song but definitely the best sounding track on London Calling

[wildcraftheat]

Well Roger, i think many fans will apprecciate if you isolate from Cut the Crap the drum machine and the stadium chorus

[beeolin]

You are right, the drums and vocals sound kinda weird, i preffer the retail version but this is a good trivia i guess

[sage]

Is this from the Vanilla Tapes? If so it's not that rare
