The Clash's eponymous debut album was pure, unadulterated rage and fury, fueled by passion for both rock 'n roll and revolution.
The charging, relentless rhythms, and the primitive threechord rockers, give the album a nervy,vital energy.

Rebels with a cause, The Clash were already experimenting with reggae, most notably on the Junior Murvin cover 'Police & Thieves'
and the extraordinary '(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais'.
Few punk songs express anger quite as bracingly as 'White Riot','I'm So Bored With the U.S.A' and 'London's Burning'.
Rock & Roll is rarely as edgy, invigorating, and sonically revolutionary as The Clash.
This debut has remained a classic to this day.

Issued in the UK by CBS Records in 1977 and produced by Mickey Foote. This first album by the Clash was unusually musically varied for a punk band, with reggae and early rock and roll influences plainly evident.
The album was recorded over 3 weekend sessions in early February of 1977. CBS Studio 3 was the location. By the 3rd of these sessions the album was recorded and mixed to completion, with the tapes being delivered to CBS at the start of March.
The album's front cover photo was taken in the alleyway directly opposite the front door of the band's 'Rehearsal Rehearsals' building in Camden Market. Drummer Terry Chimes, though a full member of The Clash at the time, did not appear in the shot as he had already decided to leave the band. The picture of the charging Police officers on the rear was taken during the 1976 riot at the Notting Hill Carnival - the inspiration for the track "White Riot".
