Reviews5 stars out of 5 - "The album sounds crucial right now because of righteous blasts such as the title track.", Ranked #3 in Cmj's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1980"., Included in Ap's "10 Essential '80s Albums"., "Big, arena-friendly anthems, infectious blue-beat winners and punch-drunk, New Orleans-style R&B workouts....Simply one of the era's landmark records.", 4 out of 5 - "...This is a definitive album in rock's pantheon, and surely a WHITE ALBUM for the sub-generation lost between hippie idealism and MTV digitalism...", 5 stars out of 5 - "LONDON CALLING engages soul riffs, reggae beats and vintage rock'n'roll as a band of true blood brothers define their battle-scarred universe. As remarkable now as it was 25 years ago.", 5 stars out of 5 - "...19-track, filler-free double album....the best Clash album and therefore among the very best albums ever recorded...", Ranked #6 in NME's list of The Greatest Albums Of The '70s - "...To hear a group blam away so fluently is a joy...", Ranked #1 in Rolling Stone's "100 Best Albums of the Eighties" Survey., Ranked #22 in Mojo's "Top 50 Punk Albums" - "...The iconic sleeve shot of a bass-shredding Paul Simonon is well matched by the music...", Ranked #4 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums", Included in Q's "100 Best Punk Albums"., 5 stars out of 5 - "The Clash demonstrated beyond any doubt that they had grown beyond their apocalyptic but parochial West London horizons to become a world-class band with a world-wide vision.", Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century

  • CLASSIC CLASH

    Not havng listened to this for over thirty years, I was surprised at how well it had aged. The Clash were always a cut above the other so called 'punk' bands. In fact The Clash were not really a punk band as they could play their instruments properly and exercised their song writing skills over a wide genre of musical styles. If you have not listened to this album before or want ti turn the clock back, I would highly recommend this to you.
