This compilation may reek, to some, of a corporate cash-in on one of the greatest bands of all time.
But its content makes it a fantastic addition to the collection of those who cannot get hold of rare slabs of vinyl which contain the tracks featured here.
We get the rawness of '1977' and 'jail Guitar Doors', the power of 'Capital Radio' and the heartaching melody of Mick Jones on '1-2 Crush on You'. Other greats are a top cover of 'Pressure Drop' and Booker T and the MG's 'Time is Tight'. This album is fantastic. Ok it may peter out at the end with remixes etc. but it does show a enjoyable history of The Clash and the way they evolved throughout their career.

There seem to be many parallels between today and the late seventies. A time of economic depression, a working class trodden down by the conscienceless political rulers and moneyed elite, ethnic tensions simmering, a generation of young people with no future prospects ready to lash out a wave of destruction in the form of riots in protest at the injustices of the world they find themselves in. And the development of a new musical form which encapsulates the passion, the anger and the political stance of the youth. OK, perhaps the similarities end there, as plastic Cowell pop seems to be the hallmark and legacy of this generation, but thirty years ago the social situation gave rise to just such a musical form, Punk. And the prime exponents were the Clash.
This album is a slightly odd entry in the band's oeuvre. Originally released as `Black Market Clash' in 1980, just before the Sandinistas! album, it was a 9 track collection of singles and B sides released in the previous few years. It was updated to a 21 track album and rereleased in 1993 as `Super Balck Market Clash'. Not an album in the traditional sense it lacks some of the coherence and vision of, say, `Combat Rock' or `London Calling'. It is however a fascinating document of the band through their existence, showing their musical versatility and willingness to experiment. Remixes of better known tracks largely work well, especially Mustapha Dance, a remix of Rock The Casbah. The stand out for me is the cover of Booker T's `Time is Tight', which lays down a great groove.
Perhaps not the best place for a new fan to start (London Calling or their eponymous debut would be better), but an essential addition to round out any fan's Clash collection.

21 songs from EPs, b-sides and twelve inch singles. Expanded from the original vinyl and CD re-issue, which was only 9 songs. Unfortunately the two best songs on the original, namely Bankrobber, a non-LP a-side from 1980, and Armagideon Time, the b-side of London Calling, have been taken off SuperBlackMarketClash, presumably to make us all buy The Story of the Clash or Essential Clash or one of the other compilations. Buyer beware! Those songs are here only in their dub versions. Even Radio Clash is only here in its b-side version.
Nevertheless, it's a worthwhile getting for songs like Gates of the West, Capital Radio Two, The Magnificent Dance and a few of the later b-sides.

Does anyone really like the clash??
Oh dear I thought I liked them but listening to this I now realise they were just a pub rock band who did bad cover versions of classic reggae and soul songs. Read more

I bought this album for one reason really and that was to get hold of "1977", the riff-driven (and perhaps Kinks inspired? Read more

Great 1st half, poor 2nd
The first 11 songs on this CD show just why the Clash were regarded as one of the best rock bands ever- catchy,innovative, and great. Read more
