Found some pics from this Great band

The CLA5H !

Here they are with their boomboxes

I can only recognise Mick Jones's Box the

classic GF-9191.

love the clash good post deech .

Cool post Deech!  The Clash are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine what the price of that Sharp box would be today if it was linked to this photo

If you check closely the ''rock the casbah'' video

at youtube its the same 9191 used for it !

Sony CFS 65

Where

that gf9191 has futura wrote on the tape deck door..he was one of the early New York graffiti artists,the Clash brought him over to london in the early eighties

Bison you are the man !!!

I d like to know more about this artist if you have more info !

FUTURA yesss and i was trying to figure out what this tag was

on the cassette deck!

Great respect for this knowledge Bison.

Northerner i just love the RCA outputs of this box

that come out from the front panel !

Claret yes the first pic is a sony cfs 65

so good to recognise it !

A historic box !!

Futura 2000 one of THE pioneers of graffiti..google him Deech,the Clash and later Big audio dynamite mentioned the likes of Rammellzee from New York in there songs.

  OH!

1st picture in this thread....

Not in the youtube video....

I spoke to my friend (who is friends with "FU") apparently he sprayed many boxes for Mick Jones

Futura that is - not my friend

^imagine one of those surfacing on the bay

the other boxes look like Grundig RR 750 on the Rock the Casbah cover

Yes

While the front of the grills of the tweeters are chrome the plastic is a dark color between the grill slots, so at that angle, in that picture, it looks like the tweeters are dark

    Don't know about the sticker on the left speaker grill - don't have one on my parts box 

Wow Claret fantastic pics !!

Every Clash member must have had its own boombox

back then !

And i ve also checked Futura he is an amazing artist

and an avant guarde of the graffiti art !

Didnt know he made some work for James Lavelle

UNKLE . I am at least impressed !!

The 9191 is one of my favourites so I'd not part with it voluntarily   But they're not that uncommon in the uk at least, I'm sure you'd find one easy enough.  There were a couple on Gumtree the other day, one damaged one in good nick, both for not much money

I've also got the Aiwa TPR990 and Sanyo 7900 they're pictured with above as well...not selling those either lol

would u sell them to The Clash? ... needed for the upcoming pop up shop in Soho starts 6th Sept. http://www.nme.com/news/the-clash/72163 or any links to ads would be helpful ... cheers.

Ive got a 9191 i may sell, only the radio works though, not the tape.

They are of course most interested in fully working ones - how much do u want for your one out of interest ... cheers

Fair enough - any more out there?  - in or near London would be helpful ... 

Ref the 9191

£100 shipped in the UK mate. And im about 30 miles south of London.

Does it have to be a 9191.

Ive also got a Sharp GF-575, fully working in great condition. Its just as big as the 9191 maybe bigger and i think sounds better.

£150 shipped in the UK.

I think i saw a Sanyo M9998 in one of those pics.

This isn't mine but i saw it on ebay....

ive got the odd box you  can have for nothing the clash were/are one of my favourite rock acts... they wouldnt be minty fully working boxes but good for display purposes

The radio is working but not the tape.

From memory cosmetic condition is quite good but as this this box is in my attic i would have to get it down and have a look, all i really remember is the tape not working.

TBH if your patient you could find a fully working one for the same money

Clashboxer If Simonon himself is looking for this box

then i m willing to give A Sharp GF9191

as a contribution for this project for free.

The only catch is to meet the Legend plus

 i m located in Athens !

I found these original photos of The Clash, with what is clearly a Sharp GF-9191...

Someone did an absolutely beautiful paint job on this thing. Does anyone know how they did this? Perhaps an airbrush of some sort? Or since this was the 1980s, maybe just some spray cans?

Fantastic band, fantastic post!

I asked Paul if he painted his and he said yes - I did ask Mick too re the GF9191 but i don't remember his answer ... it does have Futura on it who is a New York artist - maybe he painted it too ?  

How's about that skeleton wearing a top hat? What's that sticker?

Another pic of Mick Jones and his 9191.

Nice deech .   i have just read joe strummer and the legend of the clash by kris needs a good book
