I’ve loved the debut Clash album ever since it first graced my record collection, and I’ve loved it with the particular ardor only a punk kid laying out his hard-earned cash for his first important LP purchase can bring to such devotion, as that’s exactly how I acquired my copy. After skulking around my mailbox in jaded-rockcritic sloth for too many months, waiting to see whether Columbia would indeed exercise their option and release an American edition of the LP, I finally took the words of all my compatriots, breezed down to the local JEM outlet, and plunked down my $6.79 for my own import copy of The Clash.
