Info zu The Clash

This album introduced the world to The Clash, the only group that was on even footing with The Sex Pistols in U.K. punk rock's early days. The Clash avoided the Pistols' sensationalism, singing instead songs about politics, racism, and class warfare. The music's brutal assault, accompanied by Strummer's charismatic vocal style, earned the group attention in its native England, where „The Clash“ entered the charts at number 12.

This album collects many tracks from the original British release of „The Clash“ along with the single "I Fought The Law", and "Complete Control", a song they recorded with legendary Jamaican producer Lee "Scratch" Perry.

"...the eternal punk album....the blueprint for the pantomime of 'punkier' rock acts....for all of its forced politics and angst, THE CLASH continues to sound crucial..." (Alternative Press)

Ranked #77 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...Youthful ambition bursts through the Clash's debut, a machine-gun blast of songs about unemployment, race, and the Clash themselves..." (Rolling Stone)
