. Review: Highly recommended - A good selection of The Clash’s greatest hits. Review: Absolutely best compilation of band!! - This is truly an essential collection of the bands amazing songs over the years. They were the zenith of rebel/punk bands. This collection is nicely remastered in a way that brings the bass to life. If you're a Clash fan than you already know and own all these songs. If you're not a true Clash fan but love songs like "Rock the casbah" and "I fought the law" then you truly must own this collection. The tracklisting covers some of the best stuff they ever recorded. Keep in mind this is not a live cd but a collection of recorded songs that were the setlist for the live show; therefore, the sound quality is excellent. It's amazing how relevant these songs remain today with world conditions. They definitely were not afraid to bear their soul in their lyrics, which at times were considered protest songs. It's a shame we don't have a band like the CLASH in the modern era.

Is there a like button on Amazon?
I definitely liked this CD with the remastered songs. The music sounds sharp and clear. Strummer's voice comes alive (no pun intended) in the songs and really provides a lot of deep emotion. You will definitely want to listen to this on a great sound system in order to enjoy the clarity of the remastered songs. Crank up the volume and lose yourself in the only band that matters. Most serious Clash fans will have all these songs on many different discs already. My Clash collection was incomplete because I never spent much money on collecting music and some of the ones I did have I have lost through the years or they became damaged. This is a great CD to start building up my Clash collection again. If you aren't sure about The Clash get this CD to try them out, well worth the money.

PLAY IT LOUD
These are the first words you send when you open the CD case. These studio songs were based on a set list of Joe Strummers and are NOT live performances but the remastering sound so good who cares? Hats of to Mick Jones for the remastering of these songs. It is absolutely unbelievable. If you're a Clash fan you'll remember that no matter how hard you listened to their early albums (White Riot, Give 'Em Enough Rope) you couldn't understand a word Joe Strummer sung. I don't know how Mick did it but now I can make out almost 75% of his words on this album. It's not just the vocals that sound better either. You can easily pick out every instrument on every song. The bass is deep and solid and sounds just like a Clash album should. All Clash fans should run out and buy this right away! Plus in usual Clash fashion you can't beat the price. The cool thing about this CD is that it's the perfect Clash mix for you car. It's been in my car CD player since I received it. If you're a Clash fan it'll be the same for you. PLAY IT LOUD!

Great album, great sender, great sound, great band!
Super fast and professional delivery. The album sounds amazing -- one of the greatest bands of all time, in a gloriously-packaged multi-album format -- couldn't ask for anything better.

Remastered in a way that you can hear the difference.
Big Clash fan tho not big enough to spend over $100 for that giant box set. This and the 5 album box were all I need from that giant box set cuz they're both full of the newly remastered versions. It's cool that they put the first 3/4 of this 2 cd set in the set list order of one of their shows and then filled out the 2nd cd with more remastered tracks. It's always a question whether the remastering makes an actual difference or not. Here and in the 5 cd set it definitely does. It's more clear, you can hear stuff in a way that the original albums and the first cd releases just didn't have. It's a treat. Not massively different just clarity and, to a big 'ol fan, a noticeable difference. Worth the purchase.

本作品の良いところは、 ・ベスト盤と思えないほど装丁が洗練されている ・ペーパースリーブ見開きに書かれたジョー・ストラマーの言葉が印象的(下記) ・リマスターで以前のベスト盤よりも音が良くなった ・1982年のブリクストン・フェアディール公演でのセットリストに準拠した曲順(ライブのセットリストはジョー・ストラマーが毎回ものすごく時間をかけて作っていたという) ペーパースリーブ見開きに書かれたジョー・ストラマーの言葉は以下です。 "I think people ought to know that We're anti-fascist, We're anti-violence, We're anti-racist and We're pro-creative. We're against ignorance". この言葉を見るだけでも、クラッシュの世界がいかに奥深いものなのかが感じられます。 また、「7人の偉人」の歌詞に、 "カール・マルクスとフリードリッヒ・エンゲルスが、 セブン・イレブンのレジにやってきた マルクスはすかんぴん、だが、頭は悪くない エンゲルスが、マルクスに、小銭を貸してやる" とあります。 かのマルクスとエンゲルスの関係を、クラッシュはこんな形で歌詞にしていたなんて。思いがけない発見でした。 このアルバムを通じて、自分はこれまで、クラッシュのことをきちんと理解していなかったことに気付きました。

Certes, sur cette compilation, il n'y a rien d'original. Le fan détient déjà de toute évidence l'ensemble de la discographie du groupe, voire plus. Aucun titre ne le surprend : que ce soit WHITE RIOT, version différente de celle des LP's anglais ou hollandais (les plus diffusés et connus), qui se trouve sur les pressages américains ou nippons ou ROCK THE CASBAH mixé par Bob CLEARMOUNTAIN, ces morceaux figurent forcément sur un des opus qu'il possède et ne déclencheront pas la surprise ultime souvent recherchée sur ce type de produit. Reste l'objet qui est somptueux, surtout en vinyle (3 x LP) dont les pochettes intérieures comportent des photos assez rares. La set liste est parfaite et tous les standards du groupe y sont présents dans un ordre anarchique, ne respectant pas la chronologie des dates de publication : normal, elle correspond à l'ordonnancement des titres joués par le groupe le 10 juillet 1982 à BRIXTON lors de la tournée CASBAH CLUB. Alors, me direz-vous, à qui s'adresse-t-elle ? Je dirais plutôt à un néophyte qui ne connaît pas le CLASH et aimerait se faire une (petite) idée de l'ensemble de son oeuvre. En ce sens, c'est une réussite car pour un prix raisonnable, on a une large palette de morceaux significatifs, variés et symboliques du répertoire du groupe. Et pour le coup, la qualité est homogène et permet de mesurer son évolution, lui qui a su faire progresser son PUNK ROCK primaire - bien que jamais médiocre, ni régressif - (WHITE RIOT, LONDON'S BURNING, JANIE JONES) en un rock bien ancré dans son époque et formidablement structuré, bigarré, en perpétuel essor (MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, STRAIGHT TO HELL, THE CALL UP etc…), pour un résultat déjà étonnant il y a plusieurs décennies, mais dont la vitalité ne se dément toujours pas, en dépit du temps qui s'égrène. Il fige ces 32 morceaux dans le marbre car ils restent toujours d'une remarquable actualité, tant par leur production, non datée, que par leur valeur intrinsèque, ainsi que leur fraîcheur immaculée. Certains de ces albums sont devenus des classiques, tout simplement. Cette compilation pourra donner à quelques curieux l'envie de se les procurer et ainsi aller un peu plus loin dans la découverte du groupe. Quant à leurs fans inconditionnels dont je fais partie, cela ne vous aura pas échappé, elle constitue un beau produit qui viendra compléter un ensemble déjà bien fourni. Mais quand on aime… En ce sens, elle peut être considérée comme une réussite totale. Utile et exaltant.
