Their influence on me is incalculable. The London Calling/Sandinista period is my personal favourite, but for sheer adrenaline charge, the first album can't be beat!<br /><br />I must've missed that post C, pretty darned cool! Here's my unofficial first LP (blagged from my parents) http://unthoughtofthoughsomehow.blogspot.co.uk/2008/12/where-it-all-began.html I'll the cover the anniversary of my actual first solo purchase in July (if I remember!)The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-58048409441505845022012-04-15T11:19:12.608+01:002012-04-15T11:19:12.608+01:00The Clash have always had a special place in my he...The Clash have always had a special place in my heart, their first album was mine too (http://sundriedsparrows.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/first-album-you-ever-bought.html)<br />They were always so photogenic too - that Sandanista era photo you have is great. They had such style, without actually being pretty boys, if you see what I mean. Although I did have some pin-up pics of Paul Simonon from teenage girls' magazines at the time, quite weird to think of that now! Anyway, love the photos, love the clip - and still love the first album 35 years on...

It sounded really great. I think it was in a bull ring or something. Very exciting times. 35 years since the first album? Bloody hell!!! Still sounds fantastic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
