Great song by the Clash

The Clash's cover of I Fought the Law first appeared on The High Cost of Living EP which also included outstanding songs like Groovy Times and Gates of the West. It was never off my turntable after it was released in 1979 - before London Calling. Topper Headon is a massively underrated drummer.

From "Black Market Clash"

Sandinista.

I caught the first wave of punk in 77 and love it to this day. As for the Clash, their earliest stuff is still my favorite including the S/T LP and Give Them Enough Rope. The DKs version of IFTL is solid but I do like the Clash version better.

Love the Clash (and Zappa,etc.) I always loved Guns of Brixton. Such a catchy bass line. Now how about one of the most underrated bands of that era.. XTC :)
