This stunning country of origin American One Sheet poster is from the cult classic punk rock pseudo-documentary, about an obsessed fan who joins The Clash on tour. 

Produced and directed by Jack Hazan and David Mingay, the film is part fiction and part rock-doc that tells the story of Ray Gange, a Clash fan who leaves his job in a Soho sex shop to work as a roadie for the band. It includes excellent footage from the On Parole and Sort It Out tours, as well as the band in the studio recording the album Give ‘Em Enough Rope.

The star of the film, however, is not the band, but Ray Gange, its titular rude boy. The hapless punk drifts from scene to scene, in a hilarious Special Brew stupor, arguing the toss, mainly with Strummer on a daily basis and by the time The Clash reached meltdown in the mid-80s Gange had acquired full cult status amongst their fans and beyond.
