I wish it was 1977... Here is truly an essential collection of one of my all time favorite bands in chronological order. Starting with the perfect picture of its time, the �White Riot� 1977 single and then almost every song from the first and second LP's. The second CD includes 7 songs from the �London Calling� album, which is, to me, the best album ever made. But only 7 fucking songs! Oh well you should own the whole album by now anyway. The next (magnificent ha!) seven songs are from the famous 'Sandinista' triple LP, and after that is a few cuts from 'Combat Rock'. The last song is only one from 'Cut the Crap', entitled �This is England�.
Last I have to say that I don't actually own this album, I just looked at it in the record store and noticed it was very good. After that I looked at the songlist and saw that it covers the bands' career very well. When it comes down to collections, you can always complain about the songlist, but that's basically a matter of opinion. I, myself, prefer the actual albums to this.
