Album: “London Calling [Remaster]”

Description

Also available in a 3-pack with THE CLASH and COMBAT ROCK. <p>The Clash: Joe Strummer, Mick Jones (vocals, guitar); Paul Simonon (vocals, bass); Topper Headon (drums, percussion). <p>Additional personnel includes: Baker Glare (whistling); The Irish Horns (brass); Micky Gallagher (organ). <p>Digitally remastered by Ray Staff & Bob Whitney (Whitfield Street Studios, London, England). <p>If punk rejected pop history, LONDON CALLING reclaimed it, albeit with a knowing perspective. The scope of this double set is breathtaking, encompassing reggae, rockabilly, and the group's own furious mettle. Such a combination might seem over-ambitious, but 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.
