London Calling

Product Information

It was intended to be given away through a promotion with NME, but was added to the album at the last minute after the deal fell through.

It was originally released as a double album in the United Kingdom on 14 December 1979 by CBS Records, and in the United States in January 1980 by Epic Records. Bouncing from hard rock (the apocalyptic vision of the title track) to rockabilly ("Brand New Cadillac") to reggae ("Rudie Can't Fail") to pop (the Top 40 hit "Train in Vain"), The Clash knocked down all musical walls. Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.What also separated them from the mainstream (and punk) scene of the day was their willingness to experiment with worldbeats and music as varied as ska, reggae and dub.

I think that the track list is very cool, but what’s more, i also noticed when i listened to it at Spotify that “Rock the Casbah” has got another different mix.

The vinyl format enhances the raw, powerful spirit and intricate musical tapestry woven by The Clash.They sounded more like a mainstream rock band, albeit one with extraordinary power, passion, conviction and purpose. The album received widespread acclaim and was ranked at number eight on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003. Laced with the punk rock venom and an insatiable appetite for experimentation, this iconic album is a sonic rebellion that continues to capture the hearts of music lovers around the globe, sparking fires of ambitious anarchy within every note. I want to purchase this classic album on vinyl and i see that the OG UK pressings are so expensive nowadays specially if you want to find a clean copy.
