The Singles

Search: White Man In Hammersmith Palais
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

Search: White Man In Hammersmith Palais
by: The Clash

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.

Clash on Broadway

Release Date December 06, 2004
So what if they were a mass of contradictions (gutter-snipe son of a diplomat, manipulative manager, rebels on the corporate giant label) and found to have feet of clay? That probably only added to their greatness, it was the flaws that emphasised the brilliance. For my money they produced soem of the most exciting, energetic and cool music ever....and most of it is on this collection. OK in truth you should have the original LP's The Clash, London Calling etc etc. But if you want the very best of the LP tracks and all the 45 a's and b's that mattered start here. Good song biog and lyric booklets too. Do yourself a favour and get the Westway to the World DVD and Pat Gilbert's book on the Clash and you'll pretty much get what it was all about ... Read More:
