The Clash to mark 30th anniversary of London Calling with reissue

Contributed by ____Win_Win_Situation____. Posted by aubin on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 6:00 PM (EST)

NME is reporting on plans for another reissue of The Clash's landmark album, London Calling. Due out December 14, 2009, the record is subtitled the "30th Anniversary Legacy Edition." Not surprisingly, it comes five years after the 25th Anniversary Legacy Edition which is now out of print.

Full details on what will be added to this version have not yet been announced, but NME expects a CD+DVD package at the least.

Hateful is my favorite Clash song and the happiest drug song ever.

punk_sk (November 4, 2009)

are you suggesting that they record a live dvd for this?

Pricey123 (November 4, 2009)

no lol i mean, people always bang on how great they were live but no one has released a dvd. theres loads of footage out there, but theres no dvd. id like something from the sandinista era

dandangoose (November 7, 2009)

there are at least 2 official live dvds and countless bootlegs....

MattRamone (November 4, 2009)

If you're a huge huge huge fan of this album - like I am - the 25th ann. reissue was really worth the money.

Mammoth (November 4, 2009)

agree'd.

and don't get your panties all twisted up. I love seeing you nerds get all riled up.

spec (November 4, 2009)

you were asking for the reaction, so................................

London Calling > The Clash (US version, I've never heard the original) > Give Em Enough Rope > Combat Rock > Sandinista

I've never heard Cut the Crap. I don't think I've ever made it through all of Sandinista. It's such a terrible album that put quantity over quality.

Lifebystereo (November 4, 2009)

London Calling stands on it's own.

PMAtill_ImDOA (November 4, 2009)
