This was the first Clash album I bought. I got it soon after it came out. I liked it. I liked The Clash and I still do. I never bought into the rhetoric or inderstood why they didn't want to go on Top Of The Pops. but liked the tunes. I still like the tunes and the lyrics. It felt like something was coming to an end.
I have a friend who they took on the road when he was 15. It formed him I imagine. I have anither friend who swears by them but wrote this to me recently. 'It doesn't matter what people in their 50s and 60s think fifty years after the fact. They were important in their time but now it's just background music' I've turned the record over and I'm listening to Know Your Rights. It still seems to speak to me. .
