This is the only version known to me. Yet another version of the Tokyo show.
This one seems a straight lift from This Is Live Clash with "Koka Kola" from 12/27/79 tacked on.
The jokers who made this one are trying to make it appear legit by co-opting "Clash On
Broadway" styled art, and using the old "Columbia" logo.
Any official release in 2002 would be from Sony, and before Sony bought out CBS the Clash
appeared on the CBS or Epic labels, not Columbia. Nice try though.

The most booted Clash gig. The original Cable TV version and a nearly complete FM version with interview
and intro make up the complete set.
It has a great sound on all. Probably one of the best sounding Clash CD boots out there.
The performance of the band is not sparkling and the band come across very bland/flat.
The CDs are slightly better than the cdrs from cable and FM and the LP's have surface noise.
Some of the boots have other tracks on not from Tokyo.
The bass guitar is very clear as is Joe's vocals though if any critisism the top end is a little thin and
the drums suffer a tadge. Pearl Harbour makes an appearance as guest singer.
