While this US version includes some of the great singles originally released after the release of the original UK album (but is missing a few songs from the UK version) -- I recommend gettting the UK version—an original punk classic. Then pick up the single-CD singles collection for the other stuff.
Having said that -- both versions are filled with great songs from start to finish.

Essential for Fervent Fans
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.

They Could've Done So Much Better
I'll run out and buy this when it's released. I'm sure I'll even enjoy it. All the time knowing they could've released something so much greater
Why release something from 1982 instead of the 1979-80 height of their power, with Topper on the skins?
I don't get it...they must have other good multitrack recordings in the vault of complete shows, right?
