Notes

The debut album by The Clash was originally released on LP in the UK in April 1977 [14 tracks] and across the Atlantic in July 1979 with 15 tracks [updated with new recordings and initially with an additional bonus 7" single not available separately]. After an early Japanese release, CD editions followed the US edition first, to be replaced with remasters of the original sequence.

I know this isn't a true "first press" since it's the US version, but I was still very underwhelmed by the sound quality on this release. It's more tinny than expected. Maybe I'm just used to the remastered sound of this album but a lot of the tracks just sound a lot harsher and treble-heavy than I'm used to. I assume this is authentic to the recording though. Does the UK version sound significantly better is the remastered vinyl the way to go?

What would be a fair price for this release in nm/nm condition?

Anyone know why they picked blue instead of green, or even the reddish orange to match?

Sounds great for a regular major non-audiophile modern release. Really has a punch to it and really rich in all aspects. Could really loud for a modern pressing.

This copy is very similar to the documented "military use" copy The Clash - The Clash runout-wise and supposedly came from similar sources! Bought mine here in Frankfurt, where US vinyls were common, as all dealers in the small shops bought from the US personnel, that had access to the huge PX shop here, where records, amps and speakers were less than half price from the regular german souces! Those were the days!

This one’s purdy but a bit pricey compared to the transparent one that’s out. Anyone got a copy and can report on the sound of this pressing?
