Dark Horse Records

Dark Horse Records was founded by George Harrison in the mid '70s, making him the first member of The Beatles to venture back into the record business in a solo capacity. While primarily home to Harrison's own recordings, Dark Horse achieved major chart success with duo Splinter and their hit 'Costafine Town' in 1974. Even after Harrison left EMI and signed to Warner Bros Records in the '80s, Dark Horse continued to thrive as his solo albums carried its logo. In early 2020, the label was relaunched by Harrison's son Dhani and manager David Zonshine through a global partnership with BMG.

Throughout its history, Dark Horse Records has been synonymous with quality music that transcends genres. From George Harrison's iconic solo work to supporting emerging artists like Splinter, the label has consistently delivered timeless music that resonates with listeners worldwide.

The legacy of Dark Horse Records continues today under the leadership of Dhani Harrison and David Zonshine. With a renewed vision and global partnership with BMG, they are committed to preserving the label's rich heritage while championing new talent from around the world. As Dark Horse embarks on this exciting new chapter, music lovers can expect nothing less than exceptional artistry and unparalleled creativity.

Joe Strummer was a renowned songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist. He co-founded The 101'ers and The Clash before forming Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros and Joe Strummer & The Latino Rockabilly War. In addition to his musical career, he also founded a Spanish label with Antonio Escobar in Granada.
Born on August 21, 1952 in Ankara, Turkey, Joe Strummer sadly passed away on December 22, 2002 in Broomfield, Somerset, England due to congenital heart failure. Before his music career took off, he worked as a gravedigger at Saint Woolos Cemetery.

Assembly showcases carefully curated singles, fan favourites, and archival rarities from the Joe Strummer solo catalogue. This 16-track compilation features three previously unreleased versions of classic Clash tracks, including the never-before-heard “Junco Partner (Acoustic)” and electrifying live performances of “Rudie Can’t Fail” and “I Fought The Law,” the latter two of which were recorded by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros at London’s Brixton Academy on November 24, 2001.

George Harrison’s passion for introducing the world to new music expressed itself in May of 1974 when he created his own new label – Dark Horse Records. The label contained a variety of talented artists on its roster, including George himself. Assembly marks the first new Joe Strummer title released via the newly relaunched Dark Horse Records.
