This is a live recording from the Clash's "Busking" tour. Basically, after Mick and Topper had been dumped, Joe said he wanted to get back in touch with his rock and roll roots. So the Clash mark II went on a tour across the UK with acoustic guitars and played in parks.
I found this bootleg CD in a record store in New York a while back. It includes two of these busking performances with a nice mix of Clash songs. The sound quality varies from song to song because it was clearly recorded by an audience member with a tape recorder.
As always, for more info on this stuff consult the Black Market Clash website.
