I've had a copy of this record in constant regular rotation (in one form or another, starting with a dubbed cassette) over the last 30 years and I'm hearing it the way it was meant to sound for the very first time tonight. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US.

A widespread critical success, it has often been mentioned by critics as one of the greatest albums of all time.

Man, i want the cassette reissue as well but the only copy that is currently on Discogs, i think is a bit expensive for a new cassette release.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. It was released in the United Kingdom in December 1979 through CBS Records, and in the United States in January 1980 through Epic Records. I got real lucky and came across a copy that was up for grabs for free, and while the packaging shows its age, the records themselves are pristine. 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.

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 is widely regarded as the band’s greatest moment and one of the best albums to ever be committed to tape.
