‘Hugely enjoyable … Green’s great achievement is to recapture exactly how those moments felt, but remain sufficiently detached about the whole thing to render the experience honestly’ MOJOJohnny Green first met the Clash in 1977. A RIOT OF OUR OWN is his tale of three delirious years of rock ‘n’ roll madness as confidant and road manager of the Clash, from the early punk days to LONDON CALLING and touring America. Ray Lowry accompanied the band as official ‘war artist’ on the second American tour and designed the London Calling album cover. Together, in words and pictures, Green and Lowry give the definitive, inside story on one of the most magnificent rock ‘n’ roll bands ever.
