Billie Joe Armstrong has covered The Clash’s ‘Police On My Back’ as part of his stay at home series.
“This was originally written and performed by The Equals, Eddy Grant’s beat group from the 60. And of course The Clash slay it,” Billie Joe said.
The Clash released their version of ‘Police On My Back’ on their 1980 triple album ‘Sandinista’.
Eddy Grant recorded the song with his band The Equals in 1967.
Billie Joe Armstrong has recorded a stack of covers in isolation including John Lennon’s ‘Gimme Some Thruth’, Blondie’s ‘Dreaming’, Kim Wilde’s ‘Kids In America’, Shaun Cassidy’s ‘That’s Rock and Roll’ and ‘That Thing You Do’ from the movie of the same name as a tribute to Adam Schlesinger.
