The Clash's 'The World According To The Clash' Returns: A Vinyl Resurrection

Prepare to unleash a sonic storm as Sony Music resurrects a historical gem from the depths of punk rock's glory days. 'The World According To The Clash,' a compilation that originally slipped through the cracks in 1982 for US radio stations, will see the light of day for the first time in a public format on November 13. This remastered collection showcases 11 of The Clash's most celebrated tracks, crafted by the raucous quartet of Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, and Topper Headon.

In a mere five years, The Clash carved out a legacy that would resonate through the annals of rock history. Their relentless touring, prolific songwriting, and boundary-pushing albums birthed sounds that defined an entire era. Their magnum opus, 'London Calling,' released in 1979 in the UK and 1980 in the US, earned accolades as the Best Album of the '70s by NME and the '80s by Rolling Stone, cementing their status as the quintessential punk band.

Before unleashing their commercial juggernaut 'Combat Rock' in 1982, 'The World According To The Clash' was meticulously crafted for US radio DJs, featuring standout tracks that would become anthems of rebellion. Now, with newly remastered audio and fresh artwork designed by the band, this compilation is not just a relic; it's a chance for a new generation to dive headfirst into the revolutionary sound that The Clash pioneered.

For the die-hard fans and the curious newcomers alike, this release is an opportunity to claim a piece of punk rock history. Available for pre-order in limited edition red and orange vinyl, alongside CD and digital formats, this collection comes with a special bonus—a poster exclusively available with the purchase of the orange vinyl from The Clash's online store. It's time to rock the casbah once more!

The tracklisting is a treasure trove of classics: from “Rock The Casbah” to “Should I Stay Or Should I Go,” every song is a testament to The Clash’s indomitable spirit and artistic prowess. Don’t miss out on this chance to own a slice of musical history.
