Clash - The Clash .jpg) .gif) By Rob O'Connor
The Clash's label didn't believe this debut would sell in the United
States. By the time CBS got around to releasing a stateside version of the
U.K. album, the British original had become an import hit. While the U.S.
release contains outstanding tracks such as "Complete Control"
and "Clash City Rockers," it's still missing "Cheat,"
"Protex Blue," "48 Hours," and "Deny." No
matter which version you prefer, The Clash is a fearsome listen.
Joe Strummer reviles the system at every turn, while Mick Jones wields his
guitar like a switchblade. Yet even on their debut there are hints of
future musical adventures. Junior Murvin's "Police &
Thieves" is solid reggae, while "White Man in Hammersmith
Palais" expertly interpolates the reggae groove into their punk
attack.
