1978, title and twenty-two lines in black ballpoint on the reverse of a tracksheet from CBS Recording Studios 31-37 Whitfield Street London W1P 5RE Tel: 01-636 3434, with some amendments.

"Drug-Stabbing Time" was included on the Clash's second studio album Give 'Em Enough Rope, released in November 1978, their first US album release.
This lyric sheet was obtained by the vendor who lived in London in the late 70s from a friend and fellow Californian, Peter Unpingco. He and the vendor corresponded in 1979 and one of these letters contained the two Strummer lyric sheets offered in this auction. The vendor recalls that Unpingco told him that he was Strummer's "spriritual mentor and had traveled in the States with Joe in 1978. Joe and Mick Jones had spent three weeks in September/October of that year recording overdubs for the album at The Automatt studios in San Francisco, before finishing off in New York.
