Reissued as part of White Rabbit's Deep Cuts series with a Foreword from Jamie T
'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' MOJO
A Riot of Our Own explores the behind the scenes moments spent with The Clash and their tour manager, Johnny Green. He takes us on a thrilling journey filled with tales from the three delirious years of rock 'n' roll madness as the band's confidant and road manager, 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 later designed the London Calling album cover. Together, in words and pictures, Green and Lowry give the definitive, inside story of one of the most magnificent rock 'n' roll bands ever.
'Finally . . . a Clash book worth its salt' NME
