Combat Rock (Remastered)

Great product! Fast shipping!!

Muy buena calidad, tal como lo describian

Glad to finally have this back in my collection.

This record is an eclectic gem. The songs represent an excellent distillation of their creative experiments on Sandinista!, The Radio Clash EP and Black Market Clash. It doesn't have that much in common with London Calling, though traces of the anthemic style of that record are present. Now I know a lot of reviews on this site dismiss 'Rock the Casbah' and 'Should I Stay or Should I Go' as commercial sell-out tracks, but they are great songs that still sound fresh today. It's not The Clash's fault if the songs became hits. In fact, any true fan of The Clash should be happy for them for the commercial success they enjoyed with this record. Combat Rock opened them up to thousands if not millions of new fans who purchased the older records and made The Clash one of the most successful and memorable bands in western music history. Good music should be rewarded. A vow of poverty is not required for greatness. Now for the songs: The great: Rock The Casbah, Should I Stay or Should I Go, Straight to Hell, Overpowered by Funk, Car Jamming, Inoculated City, Sean Flynn. The good to great: Red Angel Dragnet, Atom Tan, Know Your Rights, Ghetto Defendant, Death is a Star. The songs vary from funk, world beat, punk, reggae to rock, sometimes artfully combining all these styles in the same track. The excellent lyrics of Joe Strummer are as strong as ever, with Straight to Hell being a standout (among others). The creativity, versatility, writing and riff making abilities of Mick Jones continue to give The Clash that certain edge over the competition. Topper Headon was probably one of the best rock drummers ever. The man could do almost anything, and even wrote the music for Casbah. Paul Simonon continues to deliver interesting bass lines which add an extra dimension to the songs (Rock the Casbah, Overpowered by Funk are good examples). Finally, beginning with their ample use of horns on London Calling, The Clash were never afraid to use additional musicians to fill out the sound, and songs like Sean Flynn and Overpowered by Funk present continuing examples of The Clash's search for perfection. In short, this record is a great one and you should not miss out on it.

Came in good condition!

Great condition, came sealed and it is original! I like it a lot

Probably one of The Clash's 2 best albums; iconic of the era.

thank you

この商品をアナログで手に入れるには理由があった。 インナースリーブにどでかいポスターがリアルタイムで買った時についていたのを知っていたからだ。 今回のはそれが小さくＡ４板に縮小された形のものが入っていたが十分満足。 ジャケットの写真もＣＤ版だと少しピンボケだがＬＰ板もそうなんですね。 昔って今と比べると写真の感度も低かったのかな。 内容はＫＮＯＷ ＹＯＵＲ ＲＩＧＨＴＳから始まってザ・クラッシュ節のオンパレード。 リアルタイムで聴いていた著者には感慨深い物があります。 当時は中学生でこれをウオークマンで聴きながら塾に通ったっけ…てね。 とにかく良いアルバムです。

Da una sensación de poca calidad el material con el que está fabricado, en cuanto a la reproducción es perfecta.

Produto chegou bem embalado e dentro do prazo. O disco, um clássico

Prachtig album, supersnelle levering

REALLY GOOD MUSIC CD OF THE CLASH. ARRIVED SAFELY AND ON TIME.THANK YOU.
