Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording:
It speaks volumes about the mid-'70s 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. 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 strictly on word of mouth--and helped establish the band as one of leaders of rock's punk revolt. --Billy Altman
Amazon.com:
In so many ways the first Clash album was truer to punk's spirit than Never Mind the Bollocks--Here's the Sex Pistols. Why? Because, like The Ramones, it sounded like it was recorded in a grotty basement, and because the songs by Joe Strummer and Mick Jones were a lot closer than those by the Pistols to the feel of life on London's streets in that glorious jubilee year. What endures about The Clash is not so much its rabid agit pop as its compact riffs and the phlegmy howl of Strummer's voice. "White Riot" and "Career Opportunities" are timeless songs about youth, boredom, and anger in Albion; "Police and Thieves" is a stiff but oddly effective cover of the Junior Murvin classic. The singles added for U.S. release (especially "White Man in the Hammersmith Palais") are punk classics. Dole queues will never again sound so appealing. --Barney Hoskyns

I think the only reason I like this album is because it sounds exactly like THE RAMONES. They totally copied them after their England performances in 1976, as did many other "punk" bands like the Sex Pistols, etc. The funny part is that RAMONES were not punk, and it is obvious listening to future Clash albums that they were really not true punks either. But everyone needs a starting place. This is the only Clash album I can listen to without hitting the skip button. Everything is up beat, catchy ... Read More

People who are after a one album purchase will prefer the US version. It includes a number of other hits that were circulating around that time and leaves off some of the weaker numbers off the UK album. I'm sure purists or completists will not agree with me on this point. To me, this album is punk (along with London Calling). This album belongs in an era which will never, can never come again. It is a product of its time but has aged extremely well.
The songs which are on this version ... Read More

And yes, that does mean that I still take Never Mind The Bollocks over The Clash debut, yet it is close. However, what is not close is the difference in quality between the U.S. version of this album and the U.K. version (even if I do love "Janie Jones" opening the album, just like High Fidelity's Rob Gordon). The reason there is no competition between the two versions is simple, "Complete Control". The greatest song from The Clash and also the greatest punk anthem ever, and I do mean ever. That ...

The Clash were among the topmost important punk groups, having the power and the passion in spades, and a sincerely egalitarian ethos in the lyrics of Joe Strummer, who perhaps even more than John Lydon embodied the spirit of 1977. Their first album snarled into the shops in April 1977 in the UK and Canada, but was not available in America for over two years except on import, and was then released in a revised format, five tracks being replaced by various singles.
Out went White Riot (the ... Read More

If I was a teacher of a class in which it was fitting to play music for my students and show off what the categorical style of rock n' roll is supposed to be like, I would play the original version of I fought the Law and I would say, 'this is good, this is good.' Then I would pull out this cd and I would play the Clash's version and I would say, 'this is great, this is great!' Hopefully, the students would catch on and would then go off and digest the differences.
I wonder how many of ... Read More
