This Here Music, Mash Up the Nation - London Calling at 35
'London Calling' by The Clash was released 35 years ago this week. When discussing the album, I invariably paraphrase Brian Clough; 'I wouldn't say it's the best LP ever, but it's in the top one.'

This is Radio Clash
While not wishing to become a permanent
advert for the BBC, another short programme
aired yesterday evening on Radio 4 that
deserves wider recognition. Front Row
dedicated it's entire ½ hour to The Clash,
including a new interview with Mick, Paul
and Topper, reunited to promote the
forthcoming box set. In addition, fiery
excerpts from a vintage Joe Strummer
interview were also broadcast and, if you
ask me, were worth the 30 minutes of your
time alone.
