... ?BBC NEWS | Wales | Pre-punk Strummer tape is found
A college friend of the late Clash frontman Joe Strummer has re-discovered a recording made by the punk legend before he was famous.
Richard Frame and Strummer were art student pals when the future rock star - who died at 50 in 2002 - called himself Woody in tribute to his folk hero, Woody Guthrie.
Frame has salvaged two tracks Strummer wrote for his then folk band. The first, thought to be the earliest known recording of Strummer, is called Bumble Bee Blues.
