@historyofpunkrock Pretty sure I've asked this when you posted this before, but I'm very intrigued to know what those codes/symbols next to each song mean?

I'm assuming they are something to do with pedals/guitars/equipment? Like "Use the Telecaster, distortion on, volume max".

@negative12dollarbill @historyofpunkrock
Just what I was wondering. The guitar notes theory is interesting.
@SteveBrodie @historyofpunkrock There were two guitarists of course. Maybe on some songs Joe didn't play at all, just sang.
@negative12dollarbill Yes dear old Mick Jones, later of Big Audio Dynamite. I'd be fascinated to know what they actually mean. Your idea is highly likely I think though. I might look into what other guitarists do/did–I imagine it's often stored/recalled digitally these days.
@historyofpunkrock man, Fujiyamama mama is a hell of a song. I’d love to have heard them do that
