While the production, by todays standards, is pretty awful, the songs and the subject matter are timeless, which serves to demonstrate why so many of todays bands continue to get it wrong on so many levels.
The political and social issues which forced messrs Strummer & Jones to write such classics as White Riot, Hate & War, Londons Burning and Career Opportunities are, sadly, still relevent. Unlike the garbage that today pollutes the airwaves. I doubt if such witty refrains as 'Now Then Mardy Bum' are still being celebrated in 30 years time.
Long live the Clash.
