Talk:This Is Radio Clash

There was an EP release with like 4 versions of this song ...
Someone has recently vandalized the Wikipedia article with a question that was already posted here on the talk page. Please don't do that.

The 12" EP version of the "This Is Radio Clash" single you are asking about has been listed in this article for a long time. The EP did not have "like" 4 versions of the song, it ACTUALLY DID have 4 versions of the same song.

The only reason you would be confused is if you failed to realize that the "This Is Radio Clash" re-mixes on the back of the EP were re-titled "Outside Broadcast" and "Radio Five". The EP you are asking about never was really rare. In fact, it was re-issued in a CD box set a few years ago.

Just to make sure there is no more confusion I will update the article to explain that all four tracks are variations of the same song.Rondo66 (talk) 22:24, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

I have no definitive references, except for the fact that I owned a copy of it during the early 80's ... Anyone who could definitively post about this would earn my gratitude ... as I recall, there were two versions of the track per side ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.46.248.232 (talk) 02:52, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Bollocks to the ridicuous idea that this is the first British Hip Hop record - The Evasions' "Wikka Rap" can probably claim that title it was released before and although partly a novelty record came directly from the London jazz-funk underground (ie the Black (and White) pre-house dance scene from which obviously British HipHop culture sprung) unlike The Clash which were (and still are) looked on as posh white rock-scene boys sticking their noses in ie never accepted by the authentic English dance underground.If the novelty bit deprives the Evasions of that title you'd have to go for the (usually cited) and undeniably HipHop of 'London Bridge' by Newtrament  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.151.197.101 (talk) 22:58, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

According to the web site 45cat.com "Wikka Wrap" was first released in July 1981. http://www.45cat.com/record/gp107

So, if the rest of the Wikipedia article is correct, then "This is Radio Clash" would have been written and publicly performed before "Wikka Wrap" but not released until afterward.

First public performance on Snyder ... not
The song was performed in public on the Impossible Mission tour of Europe before the run at Bonds (which coincided with the Snyder taping), premiering in Barcelona on 27Apr81. Also, the 4th track is called Radio 5 because PIL already had a "Radio 4" Tangverse (talk) 12:24, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
