London Calling is the third studio album by English rock band the Clash. It was originally released as a double album in the United Kingdom on 14 December 1979 by CBS Records, and in the United States in January 1980 by Epic Records.[1]
The Clash recorded the album with producer Guy Stevens at Wessex Sound Studios in London during August, September and November 1979, following a change in management and a period of writer's block for songwriters Joe Strummer and Mick Jones. Bridging a traditional punk rock sound and a new post-punk aesthetic, London Calling reflects the band's growing interest in styles beyond their punk roots, including reggae, rockabilly, ska, New Orleans R&B, pop, lounge jazz, and hard rock. Themes include social displacement, unemployment, racial conflict, drug use, and the responsibilities of adulthood.[2]
The album was a top ten chart success in the UK, and its lead single "London Calling" was a top 20 single.[3] The album has sold over five million copies worldwide,[4] and was certified platinum in the United States for sales of one million.[5] It has often been named one of the greatest albums of all time,[6] including a ranking of number eight on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.[4]
