Various - Midnight To Six Man... First Time From Jamaica LP

Description:
UK import!
The legendary gig that Joe Strummer, singer from the Punk Rock band ‘The Clash’, attended and inspired his writing their classic track ‘White Man In Hammersmith Palais’ took place on the 5 June 1977. At the Hammersmith Palais venue on Shepherds Bush Road W.6, London during the height of Punk Mania. The full line – up for the show were all Jamaican artists Dillenger, Leroy Smart, Delroy Wilson (all the first time from Jamaica) and Ken Boothe. 
The artwork supplied by Punk Artist MAL-ONE has used the two posters that were made for this gig , the reggae promoters ’Star Promotions’ poster, that contained a picture of Ken Boothe and the venue’s own poster that used text to announce its line-up for that evenings proformance.
The song itself became a` Clash Classic’ and also a Punk Anthem, released on 16th June 1978. We have compiled this album with songs by these artists , most of which you would have heard that night. As a post script to this story when the Hammersmith Palais sadly closed its doors for the last time after 82 years service in 1999, the owners thought it fitting to present Joe Strummer with a sign from the venue’s entrance. Mr Strummer’s understated reply `I guess I’ll have to send a man with a van round to pick it up’.
