Stubled across this edit on the Greg Wilson essential mix, such a standout tune as it is so familiar but the tweaks make it special! listed in various tracklistings as The Clash – Casbah Breakdown (Joey Negro mix) but released at the title states. If you hadn’t guessed this is an edit of “The Clash – Rock the Casbah”, but unlike the original this version doesn’t give the played-out feel…you know the Wethersoons special disco 3 min radio cut. Like Joakim’s remix of Cut Copy’s ‘hearts on fire’ this demonstrated perfect use of saxophone!
