Product Description

Amazon.ca

In a few short years, the Clash transformed themselves from one of English punk's hardest-edged bands to an adventurous outfit with their hands in reggae, dub, dance, and funk. Nowhere is that range more evident than this collection of singles spanning their entire career, from the three-chord fury of "White Riot" through the swooning pop of "Train in Vain" to the dance groove of "Rock the Casbah." While no substitute for the likes of the self-titled debut, London Calling, or Sandinista!, The Singles does offer up a succession of tunes that helped make the Clash the world's biggest punk band. The addition of two tunes not released on any of their original albums ("Bankrobber" and "This Is Radio Clash") add to the value of this retrospective. --Rob O'Connor

Japanese Edition Includes the Bonus Track "Train in Vain".

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Nov 27 2012

Format:Audio CD
Has all the tunes this band is best known for. Great tongue-in-cheek liner notes. Reveals a very fun band that doesnt take itself that seriously

4.0 out of 5 stars finally all the singles in one place Dec 18 2010
By Brian Maitland TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
This is a five-star CD for the music but CBS blew it by not including some B sides of those same singles. Was there no room for "1977" (flipside to "White Riot")? I don't get it. Throw us longtime fans a bone, eh, as I'm tired of trying to convert my vinyl to MP3s!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a "Greatest Hits" band Aug 5 2009
By B. Keith
Format:Audio CD
The premier band of the late 70's/early 80's was never a hit-focused band - perhaps with the exception of their final fractured disc, Combate Rock.

I strongly suggest London Calling, their debut, or Sandanista! over this collection.

1.0 out of 5 stars a downhill rollercoaster ride
starts off strong and plummets in its dyre existence. i do not like the almost disco sound of the 80's clash. singles/best of cds should never be made. it spells two words. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Collection for the Non-Completist
Some have ripped this c.d. Not all people are Clash maniacs like some of the reviewers. Don't get me wrong, the Clash was one of the most important, vital bands ever. Read more
