Hiya Greg - thanks for all the comments, very useful.
You can probably tell I haven't done a great deal with this other than level it up and whack a bit of reverb on it. Regarding the drums I agree with most of what you say about the boxiness; most of it I feel is in the toms and the kick drum, wouldn't you say?
I think I could do a fair bit to make the kick sound better as I haven't eq'd it much yet. I was trying to fuck about with it as little as possible, much as the Clash might have done back in the day, heading for that middly UK punk vibe. As you say, almost demo quality.
I think it's time to get new heads for the toms as they're getting old and they're Remo pinstripes, which are too dry and over-damped for the sounds I want to capture. What do you recommend for a richer, more open sound?
I was quite pleased with the snare for once as I bought an SM57 specifically to start getting a better snare sound as the generic mics in my drum mic kit weren't doing anything useful, and noticed more crispness and a better low-end punch than I'm used to.
Regarding the guitars, it's unbelievably difficult to get "that" sound!
Without the right amps I'm struggling. I think I got close to Joe's on the right, even without a Twin, but Mick's tone has eluded me. It has that hard, middly edge, almost like a tranny amp or a shitty cheapo distortion pedal, neither of which I have in my arsenal - the Marshall's just too rounded and cultured-sounding! He also had more distortion than I used, but turning up the crunch just smoothed the sound even more.
Ah well, as an excercise it was hugely enjoyable, even if the result isn't quite there.
