The Clash is the self-titled debut studio album by English punk
rock band the Clash. It was released on 8 April 1977 through CBS Records.
Written and recorded over three weeks in February 1977 for £4,000, it would go
on to reach No. 12 on the UK charts, and has been included on many
retrospective rankings as one of the greatest punk albums of all time.
Songs on the album were composed by guitarists Joe Strummer and
Mick Jones, with the notable exception of the reggae cover "Police and
Thieves". Several songs from these sessions, including "Janie
Jones", "White Riot", and "London's Burning" became
classics of the punk genre and were among the first punk songs to see
significant presence on singles charts. The album featured Jones and Strummer
sharing guitar and vocal duties, with Paul Simonon on bass and Terry Chimes on
drums.
The album was not released in the US until 1979, making it their
second US release. The US version also included a significantly different track
listing, changing the track order and swapping out several songs for non-album
tracks recorded in the interim.
The Clash received critical acclaim and peaked at number 12 in
the UK charts.[22] In his 1979 consumer guide for The Village Voice, critic
Robert Christgau gave the album's US release an "A" grade and stated,
"Cut for cut, this may be the greatest rock and roll album (plus
limited-edition bonus single) ever manufactured in the U.S. It offers 10 of the
14 titles on the band's British debut as well as 7 of the 13 available only on
45. [...] The U.K. version of The Clash is the greatest rock and roll album
ever manufactured anywhere".[23] In his decade-end list for the newspaper,
he ranked the UK version as the best album of the 1970s.
In 1993, the New Musical Express ranked the album number 13 on
its list of the greatest albums of all time.[25] NME also ranked The Clash
number three on its list of the Greatest Albums of the '70s, and wrote in the
review that "the speed-freaked brain of punk set to the tinniest, most
frantic guitars ever trapped on vinyl. Lives were changed beyond recognition by
it".
In 1999, Q magazine wrote that the Clash "would never sound
so punk as they did on 1977's self-titled debut", calling it a
"lyrically intricate" album that "still howled with
anger".[17] In 2000, Alternative Press described The Clash as "the
eternal punk album" and "a blueprint for the pantomime of 'punkier'
rock acts", concluding that "for all of its forced politics and
angst, The Clash continues to sound crucial."[13]
The Clash was voted number 180 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top
1000 Albums (2000).[26] Q placed The Clash at number 48 on its list of the
"100 Greatest British Albums Ever" in 2000,[27] and included the
album in its "100 Best Punk Albums of All Time" list in 2002.[28]
Spin ranked the album at number three on its 2001 list of the "50 Most
Essential Punk Records", calling it "punk as alienated rage, as
anticorporate blather, as joyous racial confusion, as evangelic outreach and white
knuckles and haywire impulses".[29] In 2003, Mojo ranked The Clash at
second place on its list of the "Top 50 Punk Albums", deeming it
"the ultimate punk protest album".[30] The same year, the US version
was ranked number 77 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all
time. The album was re-ranked at 81 in a 2012 revised list.[33] The album was
included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
Noted Jamaican producer Lee Perry heard the album while in London in 1977, and played it to Bob Marley,[citation needed] who in turn mentioned the Clash on his own track "Punky Reggae Party".
