There was a single remix made available at the time which is easily distinguished by Strummer's elongated, echo-y "crazy Casbah j-i-i-i-i-ive". Obviously his newer cut is going to be quite different from the original because it's decades later and probably at a different studio with different gear. It's been awhile since I've played my copy of the EU Tim Young cut, but I don't remember anything negative about it, and I've been listening to this album a long time.

Man, i want the cassette reissue as well but the only copy that is currently on Discogs, i think is a bit expensive for a new cassette release. It was released in the United Kingdom in December 1979 through CBS Records, and in the United States in January 1980 through Epic Records. However he also had a random side one/two, two side three/fours, and one inner sleeve (for side one/two).

Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. I think that the track list is very cool, but what’s more, i also noticed when i listened to it at Spotify that “Rock the Casbah” has got another different mix.

In fact, I planned on stopping here but then the thread mentioned linked to above convinced me to go for the 1st UK. Big full house shaking bass and crisp clear vocals that fill the room, zero harshness; can be turned WAY up like these songs deserved to be without fatiguing the ears.
