Joe Strummer and Mick Jones wrote "Hate And War" together for the Clash's self-titled debut, the album CBS turned loose on 8 April 1977. Mickey Foote produced, and the whole thing was cut and mixed in three weeks that February for £4,000, and it's hard to think of money better spent.
Across the record Strummer and Jones split the guitars and the singing, Paul Simonon played bass and Terry Chimes drums; it was Chimes's only studio session with the band, and the sleeve billed him as "Tory Crimes". The album made number 12 in Britain, but American fans had to wait until 1979 for a US release, and that one came with a reshuffled track list.
