Description

£33.99 – 2xLP w/ Special Slipcase Artwork Cover

Formed in West London in 1976, The Clash are the most influential band to spring out of the UK punk movement. The classic line up of the band is Joe Strummer on vocals and guitar, Mick Jones also on vocals and guitar, Nick “Topper” Headon on drums, and Paul Simonon on bass. Highly prolific, they released five albums between 1979 and 1982, being The Clash (1977), Give ‘Em Enough Rope (1979), London Calling (double album 1979), Sandinista (triple album 1980) and Combat Rock (1982).

When The Clash’s third studio album London Calling was released in the winter of 1979, it was clear that the band had made an instant classic, an era-defining masterpiece that stands as one of rock’s all-time greatest albums. The album is a hugely compelling melting pot of musical styles, driven by a passion for action and a fierce desire for social justice, with lyrics which remain completely relevant.

This 40th Anniversary heavy weight vinyl edition has a special clear slip case printed with Ray Lowry’s artwork, which can be removed to reveal the iconic Pennie Smith photo below.
