(Big Hassle) Dark Horse Records continues its celebration of Joe Strummer with the premiere of the Lance Bangs directed official music video for "Fantastic," featuring previously unseen footage from the Joe Strummer Archive.

The previously unreleased track is among the highlights found on Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years, the first-ever comprehensive collection highlighting Strummer's work with his post-Clash band, The Mescaleros, available now on 4CD w/72-page book and 7LP w/32-page book, special edition packaging and exclusive 12"x12" art print.
