December 14th 2009 marks the 30th anniversary of London Calling, one of the most seminal albums of all time. On December 14th 1979 The Clash recorded London Calling at Wessex Studios in London, UK. Upon release the album received rave reviews across the board, and Rolling Stone placed the album at number 8 in their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

The iconic album cover features a Pennie Smith photograph of Paul Simonon smashing his Fender precision bass on the stage of The Palladium in New York during their 1979 US tour. In 2002 Q magazine named this photograph the greatest rock and roll photograph of all time.

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of London Calling, on December 14th 2009 Sony Music will release a vinyl replica edition of the album, featuring the original album on CD and a new DVD in vinyl replica packaging. The DVD includes a Don Letts produced documentary 'The Last Testament: The Making Of London Calling' featuring interviews with Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon, plus promo videos and footage of The Clash recording London Calling at Wessex Studios.
