30 years and a couple of days ago, The Clash released London Calling... The third record from the band, but the first to showcase the taste for new forms of music and an iconic album cover referencing Elvis Presley's debut album, London Calling is always a record worth listening to straight through...
in celebrating the 30 year mark, Strummerville a charity organization, organized a dub/reggae tribute to the Strummer/Jones catalog of music, listen up...

I haven't heard a lot of reggae that I can get into lately. But it's a perfect match with the Clash. I'm ROCKING to this right now. I agree that the album is better listening to straight. And I never knew that the album cover referenced Elvis! Where'd you find that nugget?

@James_I think the cover in reference is Presley's 1956 RCA(?) debut... @misc. romance_Yes, that sounds like a great idea... " i live by the river !!!"

Though I think I prefer the un-dubbed version.

This is really good, tight dub. And the fact that it is the god-damned Clash makes it a hundee times better.I can't stop listening to it. I've had this page open for three days while I sculpt. Im an addict I tell you. XXOO
