The Clash - London Calling (Remastered, Gatefold, 180 Gram) (2 LP)

Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered pressing of the mind-numbingly awesome 1979 album from the British quartet. London Calling is considered one of the greatest Rock 'n' Roll albums ever released. All artwork recreated from original release including replicated fully printed inner sleeves. Includes 'Train in Vain', 'Spanish Bombs', 'Clampdown', 'Rudie Can't Fail', and the title track.

If punk rejected pop history, LONDON CALLING reclaimed it, albeit with a knowing perspective. The scope of this double set is breaktaking, encompassing reggae, rockabilly and the group's own furious mettle. Where such a combination might have proved over-ambitious, the Clash accomplish it with swaggering panache. Guy Stevens, who produced the group's first demos, returns to the helm to provide a confident, cohesive sound equal to the set's brilliant array of material. Boldly assertive and superbly focused, London Calling contains many of the quartet's finest songs and is, by extension, virtually faultless.

The Clash: Joe Strummer, Mick Jones (vocals, guitar); Paul Simonon (vocals, bass); Topper Headon (drums, percussion).

Additional personnel includes: Baker Glare (whistling); The Irish Horns (brass); Micky Gallagher (organ).

Digitally remastered by Ray Staff & Bob Whitney (Whitfield Street Studios, London, England).
