The-Clash-London-Calling-38710
The Clash at the height of their powers, forget the arguments which say (cue whiney voice) ‘it would have made a great single LP’, no it wouldn’t, it’s got 19 tracks (including the ‘secret’ last track), they’re all brilliant and a double LP is what it should be! Full info here
