Free Music Review: The Greatest Rock and Roll Album Ever, Plus More
Hit: 5 Stars
London Calling is the greatest rock and roll album ever, bar none. The Clash hit their stride with this record, incorporating their myriad influences into something far greater than the sum of the parts. This was the high point of their career.
As for the Vanilla Tapes: they are a fascinating document of a great band ( might they have truly been the only band that mattered?) pulling together their influences to forge something new. Despite what another reviewer wrote, these tracks have never been bootlegged, so we are all hearing them for the first time.
The booklet is great. It is not slapped together but provides interesting historical documents, such as the Armigideon Times, along with new essays setting forth the background, recording and impact of the album.
The DVD could have used fresh interviews with Mick, Paul and Topper, but even lacking those, it is still interesting and the studio footage is great. I always thought the stories about Guy Stevens' nuttiness in the studio was hyperbole, but if anything, he was crazier than the stories made him out to be.
This is a great re-release of the greatest album ever. Buy it without fear.
