The Clash were a remarkable band that emerged during the Punk explosion in 1977. They quickly recorded their self-titled first album over three weekends, which is now considered a quintessential Punk record. Over the next five years, they released fourteen long-playing vinyl sides, including the platinum double-LP London Calling, which was voted the best album of the 1980s and the 8th best album of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. The Clash's music spanned several genres, including Rock, Reggae, Jazz, Rap, Calypso, and Rockabilly, and they mixed street and global politics with their music. This book provides a concise narrative of the rise and fall of The Clash, placing each song of their prolific musical output into context, including a selection of bootlegs and rarities. It also offers advice on how to buy The Clash's music without falling into the record company trap of repeatedly buying the same material through different compilations, making it the most essential guide to the music of this iconic band yet written.
