The Clash
$45.00
If you're a Clash fan, this is great, even if you've seen a lot of it before. Not much at all on Terry Chimes, but it covers the final, "Clash 69" version of the band. This, and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit collection, are all you need on the coffee table.

Combat Rock
$7.99
At this point, The Clash were beyond the mere label of "PUNK ROCK", and were branching out in new directions, that is perhaps why, the record was called, "COMBAT ROCK", in order to reflect, their somewhat urban sound at that time. I found the record interesting, and perhaps, one of their best. Shortly after the 1982/83 tour, which I saw twice, they broke-up at the peak of their popularity, much like THE POLICE, who disbanded in 1983.

Rock The Casbah
$1.29

Singles
$8.99
This is an excellent CD of Clash Classics at their best. This is probably one of the "Greatest" compilation CD's ever. You get all their best songs, all on one CD. The Clash has been called the best "Punk Rock" band ever. They are inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, in Cleveland, Ohio. Plus, the last time I was at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, there was an excellent exhibit of the Clash, there.

You get the classic (original) line-up of:

Joe Strummer (the late/great leadman of the Clash) - Lead Vocals & Guitar
Mick Jones - Guitar & Vocals
Paul Simonon - Bass
Tory Crimes - Guitar & Vocals

There were some personnel changes through the years, but their music style, & songs retained the same sounds, and themes. They were a very, very entergetic, & very "aggressive" band, and were known for "Power-Punk" Songs, and "Songs With an Attitude". The "classic" songs on this CD, represent these descriptions. These songs represent the Clash at their best!!!!

The songs are as follows:

1.London Calling
2.Rock the Casbah
3.Should I stay or Should I go
4.I Fought the Law
5.(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais
6.The Magnificent Seven
7.Bankrobber
8.The Call up
9.Complete Control
10.White Roit
11.Remote Control
12.Tommy Gun
13.Clash City Rockers
14.English Civil War (Johnny Comes Marching Home)
15.Hitsville, UK
16.Know Your Rights
17.This is England
18.This is Radio Clash

Bonus Tracks:
19.Train in Vain (Stand by Me)
20.Groovy Times

Overall, this is an excellent cd, and a "must-have" for any "punk-rock", or any "Clash" fan, or any "rock" fan. This is truly an excellent compilation CD at its best. Thanks!!!!
