If The Clash were a one-hit wonder and the double-album London Calling was their only record, The Clash would probably be the greatest rock band of all fragging time!Thank the punk gods, for that reason, they aren’t.
With already two classic albums behind them, The Clash and Give ‘Em Enough Rope, London’s best working-class band were, upholding their image, down on their luck. Joe Strummer was writing songs in his grandma’s pad using a manual typewriter and his group owed their record label money.
After putting together enough songs for three studio albums, they chose the best 19 of the lot and the rest is rock ‘n’ roll history.
