{"product_id":"clash-combat-rock-lp","title":"Clash - Combat Rock (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt's not easy being the World's Greatest Rock \u0026amp; Roll Band (a tag the Clash inherited from the Rolling Stones, who had traded their emotional commitment for tax exile). What you do after changing the world with your first few releases? The previous SANDINISTA was the Clash's WHITE ALBUM, exploring just about every musical style they could think of over the course of three LP's. COMBAT ROCK, then, could be their LET IT BE, an attempt to focus on visceral, accessible material, kidney-punching instead of bobbing and weaving.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's an increased focus on funk here, as on the unlikely hit \"Rock the Casbah\" and \"Overpowered by Funk.\" Naturally, there's also a pronounced political element to the lyrics (the anti-authoritarian rant of \"Know Your Rights,\" the post-Vietnam morality play of the moving \"Straight to Hell.\") Despite the renewed sense of focus, though, there's still a high degree of artistic ambition revealed in both the polysyllabic lyrics and the textured, overdub-heavy arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clash: Joe Strummer, Mick Jones (vocals, guitar); Paul Simonon (vocals, bass); Topper Headon (drums).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Gary Barnacle (saxophone); Tymon Dogg (piano); Poly Mandrell (keyboards); Allen Ginsberg, Joe Ely, Ellen Foley, Futura 2000 (background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eDigitally remastered by Ray Staff \u0026amp; Bob Whitney (Whitfield Street Studios, London, England).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock, Alternative\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Know Your Rights 3:40\u003cbr\u003eA2 Car Jamming 4:00\u003cbr\u003eA3 Should I Stay Or Should I Go 3:09\u003cbr\u003eA4 Rock The Casbah 3:43\u003cbr\u003eA5 Red Angel Dragnet 3:45\u003cbr\u003eA6 Straight To Hell 5:30\u003cbr\u003eB1 Overpowered By Funk 4:52\u003cbr\u003eB2 Atom Tan 2:30\u003cbr\u003eB3 Sean Flynn 4:31\u003cbr\u003eB4 Ghetto Defendant 4:44\u003cbr\u003eB5 Inoculated City 2:42\u003cbr\u003eB6 Death Is A Star 3:11\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joco Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48097588904195,"sku":"QD3F0H-P6U4-00","price":25.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/phishstonesproducts.myshopify.com\/products\/clash-combat-rock-lp","provider":"PhishStones Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
