The Clash – Death or Glory (1979)

Love this now like I did the day it came out.

Late 1979, 15 going on 16, a double LP of unending depth.

Never really played live (until the dog days of 1983), this is a phenomenal track from a phenomenal LP with one of the finest opening lyrics of all ….

Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world

And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl

The 40 seconds from 2:40 to 3:20 are among the greatest in music history ….

Just the track
