There is so much raw fury on that first one. Fuck I fough the Law. The Police and Theives cover took some balls. Janie Jones is a lengendary rock figure. Career Oppertunities? I must have sung that while looking through the help wanted section a billion times. Easily one of the best (and best sounding) bits of agit-prop the era produced.
Listen to the Sandinista version of Career as see how they had become a totally different band. When we're talking about the PUNK band The Clash, there's only the debut. Everything else seems like an experimental stab at everything BUT punk music, with widly variying results. Admit it: you skip a few tracks on London and especially Sandinista. Personally, I skip damn near all of them.
