The Singles

Search: Clash City Rockers
by: The Clash

Release Date June 05, 2007
While I agree that there may be more comprehensive Clash sets available (my personal favourite being 'The Story Of The Clash Volume 1') this release does exactly what it says on the tin. All the singles, though not in chronological order - unlike the previous 1991 version, combined with far improved artwork. And it is this that sold me on this CD.
The colourful booklet has been designed with care and features notes from the great and good on each track. Everybody from Pete Townsend to Danny Boyle and many inbetween, get to comment on their favourites and the impact these tracks had on them. Single sleeve artwork and illustrations adorn the liner notes together with some fine shots of the band. All in a slip-sleeved jewel case. And for ... Read More:

The Singles

Release Date December 20, 2005
I feel unworthy to do anything other than basque in the greatness of The Clash and place this album on a pillar of all time greatness.
These tracks have said more politically, socially and with more drive that 10 cabinets at downing street. This compliation of classics tracks their growth as a band from simplistic marvells such as "White Riot" to the ever so cunning "London Calling" up to the point where you wonder whether punk is loosing its meaning.
Anyhow. There be times when you think "Golly-gosh is it me are all of these pop-punkish type bands today copying them","Did I hear that right, did they just say..." and maybe "When will this end". But, in summary you will most probaly think the album was a fantastic insight to have.

The Clash - Singles [Box Set]

Search: Clash City Rockers
by: The Clash

Release Date October 30, 2006
This is a truely stunning collection. There's stuff here I've never heard before - all perfectly mastered so the sound quality is superb. There's also a bit of inspired fun in having the CDs as replicated 7" vinyl singles (remember them?), all in mock original sleeves.

Clash fans, punks and those into 70s/80s rock will know the stuff here. Reggae fans should buy this at the earliest opportunity, not only for the studio 1 inspired "Armagideon Time" (and the brilliant dub versions provided here) or the Mikey Dread produced "Bankrobber" but also for "Cool Confusion" - a US release - and the many other reggae inspired tunes. However, "London Calling" and "Rock the Casbah" are enough to recommend this to anyone with a pulse.

The Essential Clash

Release Date April 25, 2005
This is such an awesome collection!
I have more or less every Clash album made, but this 2 disc CD is a great mix of some of their best work, and really represents why they are one of the greatest and most important bands ever formed.
The first disc is my personal favourite - opening with the stomping 'White Riot', this CD shows their early work...tracks such as 'Complete Control' and 'London's Burning' have heavy political views, but performed in such a furious rage that demands your attention. This is the band in their youth years - all the tracks are pure punk anthems, which I love!
Disc Two starts off with their best work - a mixture of genres such as reggae and rock are clearly heard in 'London Calling' and 'Rudy Can't ... Read More:
