Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

It speaks volumes about the mid-1970s music scene that the Clash's explosive debut was viewed as too provincial and raw for U.S. consumption upon its original English release in 1977. (Wimps.) No matter--between Joe Strummer's marble-mouthed howls of righteous rage on songs like "Career Opportunities" ("The ones that never knock"), "I'm So Bored With the USA" ("Yankee dollars talk to the dictators of the world") and "White Riot" ("I wanna riot / A riot of my own"), and the furious instrumental assault led by guitarist Mick Jones, the Clash became a hot import in the States strictly on word of mouth (some of them must have taste)--and helped establish the band as one of leaders of rock's punk revolt. --Billy Altman


CD Description

This album introduced the world to The Clash, the only group that was on even footing with The Sex Pistols in U.K. punkrock's early days. The Clash avoided the Pistols' sensationalism, singing instead songs about politics, racism, and class warfare. The music's brutal assault, accompanied by Strummer's charismatic vocal style, earned the group attention inits native England, where THE CLASH entered the charts at number 12.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ownership Essential, 11 Sep 2006
By Mr. Peter Barrett (Gloucestershire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the very best LP of any band from the punk era, the best album The Clash made and an essential item in any music collection.

Even after nearly 30 years, it's intense, concise and punctuated, both musically and lyrically. It still burns with energy and indignation.

Play this and you'll yearn for bands to start writing lyrics that mean something again because lads, if any of you are reading this, you can make a difference through your music, and here's the proof.

Unlike some iconic punk albums this CD has been nicely remastered, so you get the full impact without reaching for the vinyl. One of the best things you'll ever buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album from the Greatest band, 14 Nov 2006
I think that this ablum proves what punk is. It isnt Green Day or Blink-182. This is real, hard, political punk. The Clash's self-titled debut album, lyrically brings up some important topics for the working class in the 1970's such as drugs, war, violence etc. My personal favourate tracks are White riot, the song inspired by black people rioting and Joe wanting other people to be more like them and make a stand. Other favourates are Janie Jones a great opening track with the drumbeat, Londons Burning, a song about drugs and boredom, Garageland, a song celebrating being in a band. After the 30 years this album has had it is still as relevent and as great to listen to as it was. This is definatly one of the better Clash albums, along with Give em enough Rope. So if your looking for raw political punk, I would definatly recomend this.

5.0 out of 5 stars All time classic, 8 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This is not technically as good as the 1979 US version of the album (with the light-green cover) which included some of the early singles and b-sides (such as Complete Control, White Man ... Palais, Clash City Rockers and Jail Guitar Doors). However, the songs on this album all make up a great social statement for the era. Tracks excluded from the US version (but present on this album) include 48 hours, Cheat and Protex Blue. My advice - Buy this original 1977 UK version and gain what is probably the best album of the era (if not the best album ever released), and pick up the early classic demos, singles and b-sides from the "Clash On Broadway" box-set.
