The Vanilla Tapes

The Vanilla Tapes were demo tracks recorded by the English punk band The Clash. The Vanilla Tapes were, in essence, a early version of London Calling. The Clash's roadie Johnny Green was to deliver the tapes to The Clash's new producer Guy Stevens. Green fell asleep on the train ride and woke up at the station where he was supposed to disembark and in a rush left the tapes on the train. After that, the tapes were considered lost until March 2004, when Clash guitarist Mick Jones was moving boxes and came upon a copy of the tape.
