637 - The Clash White Riot 1977

"The Clash" is the first album-length recording released by the English punk band The Clash. It was released in two different versions, both of which are still in print: the original version in 1977 and the revised U.S. version in 1979 (with several post-1977 single sides added to the album). "White Riot" was the first single, the song is short and intense, drawing influence from the Ramones' style of two chords played very fast. Lead Guitar Mick Jones counts off "1-2-3-4" at the start.
