You are bidding on THE CLASH album (12"  33 1/3 rpm vinyl). Released on Epic Records in 1979 (JE 36060) - this is the American repressing of the band's English debut of 1977. This has some additional tracks not on that one. Band was: JOE STRUMMER, vocals, guitar - MICK JONES, guitars - PAUL SIMONEN, bass - TOPPER HEADON / TERRY CHIMES, drums. See the photos for the track listing.
Produced by The Clash, Mickey Foote, Lee Perry, this was the first Clash album, their best. Vinyl is near mint, album cover is excellent, and still has the original shrink-wrap on it.

This is a great record, an essential piece of Brit vinyl punk for your collection! Great guitars great lyrics. Makes a great Valentine's Day gift for that special someone!!
Robert Christgau reviewed it at the time: The Clash [Epic, 1979] Cut for cut, this may be the greatest rock and roll album ever manufactured in the U.S. It offers ten of the fourteen titles on the band's British debut as well as seven of the thirteen available only on forty-five. And the sequencing is anything but haphazard; the eight songs on side one divide into self-contained pairs that function as extended oxymorons on careerism, corporate power, race, and anomie. Yet the package feels misbegotten. The U.K. version of The Clash is the greatest rock and roll album ever manufactured anywhere partly because its innocence is of a piece -- it never stops snarling, it's always threatening to blow up in your face. I'm still mad the real thing wasn't released two years ago, and I know for certain (I made a tape) that the singles would have made a dandy album by themselves. Nevertheless, a great introduction and a hell of a bargain. A (grade)
