So many of The Clash's best records—particularly in their early days—came out on singles (before the string of compilations that would show up later)—so this is a must for any hard-core fans.
I already had most of the singles on the original UK 45s, so I picked up the CD box, which is chock-filled with tons of great others goodies like the 12" remixes and other rarities that never made it to CD.
One fatal flaw, though: the spoken coda to the "The Cost of Living" EP is missing (the guy w/the Jamaican patois (Razorhead?) telling folks to pick up the EP). Perhaps it was missing from the master tape?
