Punk and Hardcore
The Clash release “The World According To The Clash” on 13 November, an eleven-track compilation pressed in 1982 to be handed out to radio DJs in the United States, ahead of “Combat Rock”, and never commercially available since.
Sony Music is putting it out newly remastered and with new artwork designed by the band. There is limited-edition red and orange vinyl, CD and digital; buying the orange pressing from the band’s official store comes with a poster.
Side A is “Rock The Casbah”, “Clampdown”, “Train In Vain (Stand By Me)”, “Brand New Cadillac” and “The Magnificent Seven”. Side B is “I Fought The Law”, “The Guns Of Brixton”, “Spanish Bombs”, “London Calling”, “Lost In The Supermarket” and “Should I Stay Or Should I Go”.
Seven of the eleven come from “London Calling”, two from “Combat Rock”, “The Magnificent Seven” from “Sandinista!” and “I Fought The Law” from the 1979 EP “The Cost of Living”.
