The unique story of the Clash by Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon. This is the first official book to be created about the band, by the band. With unprecedented access to the Clash archives, this landmark publication brings together previously unseen material including tour posters, artwork and photos of the band at home, on stage, in the studio and on the road – with each member telling their story in their own words.

Joe: “I called myself Joe Strummer because I can only play all six strings at once, or none at all.”

Mick: “I decided that I’d go to art school in order to meet other musicians and get a grant so I could buy some equipment.”

Paul: “I wanted to be Peter Townshend, the bloke who throws his arms around and jumps up and down.”

Topper: “Drumming became my first addiction. I’d play for eight hours a day.”

The surviving members of the Clash have worked together with the full cooperation of Joe Strummer’s estate to create this unique collection. Available at Amazon and all other good book stores.
