Personal opinion - Cutting the crap from Cut the Crap = an album with only one blinding great A-Side, "This is England" and nothing else. I can understand why the album is shoved out of view for to me it's clearly the work of a musician trying to create something out of a dire situation and an Manager getting into the show resulting in something that's on a level of leaving with a whimper.
Actually, someone should have tried to get the "New Look" Clash into doing an album based on their head-turning but actually slightly successful "Busking" tour. Now THAT would have been very interesting, but now it's filed under lost opportunities in my view. Still, there are some defenders of Cut the Crap, but when I heard it, it was the sound of something not going well.
