Today, GuitarWorld.com presents the exclusive premiere of a previously unreleased version of "London's Burning" by the Clash.

The track, which is included on the band's new deluxe, career-spanning box set, Sound System, is from their first-ever recording session at Beaconsfield Film School in 1976 and was recorded by Julien Temple.

Sony Music Entertainment will release Sound System September 10.

The box set, which is housed in boombox packaging designed by Paul Simonon of the Clash, contains the band’s five studio albums, all remastered by the Clash; three discs with demos, non-album singles, rarities and B-sides; a DVD with previously unseen footage shot by Julien Temple and Don Letts, original promo videos and live footage; an "owner’s manual" booklet; reprints of the band’s original Armagideon Times fanzine and a new edition curated and designed by Simonon; plus dog tags, badges, stickers and an exclusive Clash poster.

On the same day, the Clash will release a new compilation, The Clash: Hits Back (available as 2-CD/3-LP/digital), and The Clash: 5 Album Studio Set, box sets that collect the band's original five studio albums on CD.

Sound System, which was conceived and compiled by the Clash, is available for pre-order at Amazon.com.
