One of the best ideas for a compilation album ever, this double-disc set takes music from the whole of the Clash's recording career, including singles, b-sides, album tracks and rarities. Which means that not only do we get hits like 'White Riot' and 'Rock The Casbah', we also get gems like 'Straight To Hell' and 'Armigideon Time'. There are plenty of non-album recordings here too, such as the excellent 'Bank Robber' and 'White Man (In Hammersmith Palais)'. The album is accompanied by a useful booklet featuring interviews and liner notes too. If you can't afford 'Clash On Broadway', this is a fine place to start your collection of one of Britain's greatest bands.
