The Clash - The Only Band That Matters (4-CD Set)

The Clash - The Only Band That Matters: The Legendary Broadcasts (4-CD Set)

The Clash were famed for their energy and angst, however, their music also embraced reggae, dub, funk, ska and rockabilly. Their heavily politicised lyrics, their relentless appetite for new musical genres and their rebellious edgy attitude had a far-reaching influence on popular music which earned The Clash widely acclaimed accolade ‘The Only Band That Matters’.

This powerful four disc set features four legendary broadcasts from the halcyon years of the Clash which spanned 1977 to 1983 and culminated in the legendary US festival appearance.
