Songs like 'Stay Free', 'Julie's been working for the drug squad' and 'Last gang in town' are amongst the Clash's worst songs ever.

It is no secret the Clash themselves rate this as their most difficult album. There was absolutely no chemistry between Bozo Pearlman and the band and that's all just too apparent when listening to this album.

Having said all that, if you don't mind the Blue Oyster Cult production (echo on the drums, echo on the triple tracked guitars) there are a few gems on this record. Tommy Gun, English Civil War and Safe European Home are amongst the Clash's stronger songs. But 3 good tracks on one album is not enough to waste your money on, even if it is the Clash.

If you have to buy all the Clash records, save your money for these releases. Yes, the order is in importance:

1. London Calling
2. The Clash
3. Sandinista
4. Super Black Market Clash
5. On Broadway
6. Combat Rock
