I must start by saying that I love this C.D!! I purchased it about a year ago for only £9.99 from my local WHSmiths shop, which was extremely good because albums are normally about £13 and that's just for one C.D, about 13 tracks. This album has two C.Ds, that's 28 of the Clashes most famous tracks for under £10, excellent value and it's probably cheaper now. It is hard to believe, but before i brought this C.D I wasn't a Clash fan really, I had heard a few tracks and didn't think they were anything special. But after listening to it the first time, I realised how good the Clash really are. So if you are a Clash fan already then you are going to love this, it includes the tracks "rock the casbah", "should I stay or should I go", "I thought the law", "white riot", "london's calling" and many more Clash classics! Or if you are just someone looking to try something new, give this album a listen, it's only about £10, so even if you don't like it, it's not the end of the world, but I think that most people will love it, especially if you like other rock bands of the time like The Specials. Even the booklet is something special, it's a letter to Chris from Albert Transom, it's 12 pages long and just tells the story of the clash basically, there are also photographs of the band members!
