"The Book"
Accompanying the DVD is a 96-page book by Ray Lowry featuring an extensive selection of the cartoons, writings and drawings completed during his time on the road as artist in residence with the Clash. In its own way, the inimitable style of Lowry's work evokes the mood of the era almost as powerfully as the music itself.
