Route 19 Revisited : The Clash and London Calling (Paperback)

Twenty-eight years after its original release, The Clash'’s London Calling was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame as a recording of lasting qualitative or historical significance.” It topped polls on both sides of the Atlantic for the best album of the seventies (and eighties) and in publications as wide- ranging as Rolling Stone, VIBE, Pitchfork, and NME, and it regularly hits the top ten on greatest-albums-of-all-time-lists.

Even its cover—the instantly recognizable image of Paul Simonon smashing his bass guitar—has attained iconic status, inspiring countless imitations and even being voted the best rock 'n' roll photograph ever by Q magazine.
