The Clash
Hits Back (180g, Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 3LP

Best of collection from the UK's The Clash. The Clash Hits Back features some of the band's biggest hits and serves as somewhat of a career retrospective. The band and the label took a novel approach to putting the collection together; it mirrors the 24 song set list for the band's July 19, 1982 concert at Brixton Fairdeal and tacks on eight bonus hits to the end. Includes the songs: "London Calling," "Know Your Rights," "The Magnificent Seven," "Rock the Casbah," "Straight to Hell," "White Riot," and "Clash City Rockers." Thirty-two tracks in all. Released by Epic on red 180 gram triple vinyl, includes poster.
