The Clash's fifth album, released in 1982, features "Rock The Casbah" and "Should I Stay Or Should I Go," making it their biggest commercial hit. However, its eclectic mix of dub, funk, rap, and even Allen Ginsberg's spoken word continues in the vein of their previous work, "Sandinista!". The heavy, sinking grooves of "Straight To Hell" and "Ghetto Defendant" truly showcase the band's essence. This particular record is a re-press from UK CBS in the late 80s. It's a valuable album to own on vinyl for their rhythmic sensibility, which transcends the punk genre.
