Title: Classic debut
Review: The Clash splashed onto the punk scene in 1977 and soon were called (justifiably) The Only Band That Matters by their fans. They only lasted for about 5 years, but fortunately we can still enjoy their classic CDs. Their debut, THE CLASH, is usually seen as slightly inferior to their later CD, LONDON CALLING, but is still fantastic. And it probably remains their rawest and hardest CD.I wasn't old enough to get into the Clash while they were at their peak, but I cannot get enough of their music now. Although their music probably appeals most to fans of 70's punk, I think that people who like more modern groups such as Green Day or Sum 41 will probably also really like this CD. I don't have the original US version of this CD, but the song selection is so different that I would suggest that people purchase this UK re-release even if they have the US one. This re-release includes such great songs as the hard-driving JAMIE JONES and the reggae-tinged POLICE AND THIEVES. A true classic!
