A bargain for your own piece of the Council legend…
Unbelievably it’s 30 years since the Clash released London Calling, and it sounds as fantastic today as it did then. Some people say it’s the greatest album ever made.
Rolling Stone magazine wrote at the end of the 1980’s London Calling was “an emergency broadcast from rock’s Last Angry Band, serving notice that Armageddon was nigh, Western society was rotten at the core, and Rock & Roll needed a good boot in the rear, 19 songs of apocalypse fueled by an unbending faith in rock & roll to beat back the darkness” – You can’t argue with that!
We’re very lucky to have a copy of the album on vinyl (original uk pressing) which is for sale at £15.
