London Calling
Description
This is one of their all time classic albums and has been
digitally remastered for the 1st time. Bursting at the seams with
creative energy, the Clash’s stunning 1979 double album more than made up for
the artistic and commercial disappointment of its predecessor, 1978’s tried-
too-hard Give ‘Em Enough Rope. With ex-Mott the Hoople producer Guy Stevens
harnessing their sound as never before, the band yielded what proved to be the
best work of their career. Bouncing from hard rock (the apocalyptic vision of
the title track) to rockabilly (“Brand New Cadillac”) to reggae (“Rudy Can’t
Fail”) to pop (the Top 40 hit “Train in Vain”), the Clash knocked down all
musical walls and, in the process, ended the argument over punk’s viability in
the U.S. –Billy Altman
