I was too young (ahem!) and too far away to truly fathom the whole punk movement in the UK, but I remember being quite fascinated by The Clash back then.
Even though some of their songs are too loud and tuneless (LOL!), I was yet captivated by some others… like Rock The Casbah, Should I Stay Or Should I Go, and this!
Brings back memories… (I bought the 12” back in ’81 – I would blast it & the whole house would shake!) lol. Thanks for an excellent rip.
Thanks Richie. Didn’t have this one.
