Biography

The Sex Pistols may have been the first British punk rock band, but the Clash were the definitive British punk rockers. Where the Pistols were nihilistic, the Clash were fiery and idealistic, charged with righteousness and a leftist political ideology. From the outset, the band was more musically adventurous, expanding its hard rock & roll with reggae dub and rockabilly among other roots ... Read more in Amazon's The Clash Store

5.0 out of 5 stars London calling revisted 20 Sep 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
London Calling was one of my first purchases as a young teenager many years ago...which was a long time ago:-).. It sounded great then, just as it does today, brilliant production, every song is just as good as the one before as you go through the playlist and in my eyes, the best Clash album of all time.

The demo cd is just that, so dont expect anything too fancy. It is what it is, a pre album demo with some interesting takes of the songs at the early stage of composition. Some takes don't have vocals, some do, but above all, still amazing to listen to after all these years and the unreleased songs are more intersting than you could forsee.

The DVD is a bit hit and miss. The interviews were from the same session as "Westway to the world", but leaning towards the london calling era, that I am sure wasn't on the afore mentioned Westway DVD.

The black and white studio footage is priceless, with Guy Stevens shown getting up to his jinks such as throwing chairs and swinging ladders about in the live room, but it doesn't really feature the band actually doing much other than jamming for 13 minutes and joe doing a vocal take.

Live Features; "Clampdown" (complete song), Train in vain and the London Calling promo video.

5 stars for the original album, it would be four stars for the extra material to be honest, but definitly worth the money overall.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buy the 25th Anniversary Edition instead 2 Dec 2009
By Euromancometh
Format:Audio CD
I can't really see the point of another release for this iconic album, especially when it's a far inferior version. This edition is basically the excellent 25th anniversary release minus the Vanilla Tapes (demos) CD which, whilst not everyone's cup of tea, included five unreleased songs and enough of interest to whet more than just the Clash completist's appetite. What you get here is the original album (naturally) and the same DVD as the 25th ann. edition, which includes:

1. The Last Testament: The Making of London Calling (Documentary)
2. London Calling (Video)
3. Train In Vain (Video)
4. Clampdown (Video)
5. London Calling in Wessex Studios (Home Video Footage)

There's therefore nothing new here. Five stars for the original album (read the many plaudits to it elsewhere!) but two stars for this release because we've been here before.

If there are going to be more anniversary issues, then why not the eponymous first album, Give 'Em Enough Rope and Sandinista? This is what we really want.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never mind the bollocks this album is superb 18 April 2009
By W. Fearn
Format:Audio CD
Don't listen to all the rubbish about sold out, not stuck to their roots etc etc etc. This album is just superb, it is as fresh now as it was when originally recorded. Personally I fail to find a poor track on it, admittedly some are stronger than others, but definately no fillers here. Buy it, enjoy it, and you'll still be enjoying it for many many years to come.

2.0 out of 5 stars London Calling still delivers, The Vanilla Tapes don't
'London Calling' has been one of my favorite Rock & Roll albums since the very early 1980s, so it was with much excitement that I looked forward to listening to the 'Vanilla Tapes'... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars London Calling 30th Anniversary Edition, Vinyl Replica Packaging,...
mediocre repackaging of the earlier 25th annniversary release minus the demo cd.

looks ok, sounds ok but not worth buying if you have the 25th anniversary edition.
