A previously unreleased demo version of the Clash’s “This is England” will be included on the upcoming Joe Strummer compilation, Joe Strummer 001, due out on Ignition Records on September 28. The 1983 demo, titled “Czechoslovak Song/Where is England,” also features Clash bassist Paul Simonon and then drummer Pete Howard.
