About this song: I Fought The Law
While one version of the Clash's decision to cover the song is that it was the existence of a 45 of the Bobby Fuller version in an American studio jukebox, it is true that Ducks Deluxe issued a cover single. 'I Fought The Law/Cherry Pie' (RCA 2531, 1975) in the UK and Joe Strummer with the band 101'ers had been on the same pub rock circuit as Ducks Deluxe. The Clash were completing work on their second album, Give 'Em Enough Rope, at the time; Fuller's version had not been a hit single in the UK, that inspired The Clash to record a cover version of the song in 1978.
