It is the album version but twice as long. I don't believe the term "extended" is used anywhere on this single. At any rate, I'll take 8:40 of the song over 4:39 that we got on the album every time.<br /><br />Echorich and Kevinpat, We can't help but wonder where the Clash would have gone next, but for the most part I did enjoy where both camps went.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-68559200867012613622016-03-04T08:38:29.415-05:002016-03-04T08:38:29.415-05:00Hmmm.

That concept doesn't always work, but with BAD it certainly does. One has to wonder what the next Clash album would have been like with Mick going in this direction and Joe Strummer going all flamenco & outlaw. Hmmmmmm. Something to dream. Damn. I LOVE the Clash.kevinpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501873866325216412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-88143652426863818382016-03-04T03:46:55.582-05:002016-03-04T03:46:55.582-05:00I never thought of the 12" of 'Bottom Lin...I never thought of the 12" of 'Bottom Line' as being an extended version, in the same way that so many singles of the period were artificially stretched. To my mind, this is the full version of the song and the 7" & LP versions are merely edits. I could never understand why the full length version wasn't re-instated onto the CD issue of 'This is Big Audio Dynamite'.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-40397235752817574422016-03-03T22:33:05.146-05:002016-03-03T22:33:05.146-05:00I've always thought The Bottom Line was the so...I've always thought The Bottom Line was the sound The Clash should have ventured towards. The bones of great Clash music is there in this song and Mick Jones had to have been aware of this when he was creating This Is Big Audio Dynamite. But Mick took his new forced freedom to expand the scope of his music with BAD.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.com
