It’s been nearly 16 years since the world lost iconic punk pioneer, Joe Strummer.

Thanks to The Clash frontman’s widow and producer, we will be gifted with new music this September. Shortly after his sudden death in late 2002, those close to Strummer found an extensive catalog of previously unreleased material.

With the help of Lucinda Tait, Robert Gordon McHarg III, and Grammy Award winner Peter J. Moore, the compilation is officially set for its September 28th release.

Titled “Joe Strummer 001“, the box set will include 32 tracks from Joe’s solo catalog, as well as material from his days with The 101ers and The Mescaleros. The release will also feature material from Strummer’s sessions with Jimmy Cliff, Johnny Cash, and Mick Jones, following the breakup of The Clash. The set includes “quadruple heavyweight vinyl, seven-inch vinyl single, cassette, A4 book, enamel badge, art print, screen print, lyrics and sticker sheet.”

“Joe Strummer 001” is due out September 28th. You can pre-order it here.

Upon the announcement of the box set, a new lyric video of “London Is Burning” has been made available. Check it out below.
