Spotted this on EV Grieve this morning and thought I'd share it. Today is the anniversary of the U.S. release of London Calling by The Clash, which hit the racks in 1980. I remember buying my vinyl copy of it at the Disc-O-Mat on Lexington Avenue between 57th & 58th streets in Manhattan. Thirty years (!!!) later, The Clash are long over, Joe Strummer is dead, The Palladium on East 14th where the iconic cover shot of Paul Simonon was snapped is now an NYU dorm and that Disc-O-Mat is now a Payless shoe store. Anyway, go crank it up.
