In some ways, the double-disc, 28-track
compilation The Story of the Clash, Vol. 1
does its job very well - if the job is indeed
presenting a relatively thorough overview
for casual fans. The great majority of the
band's hits and signature tunes are here,
including album tracks and such non-LP
singles as "Bankrobber," "Armagideon
Time," and "Capital Radio," albeit in non-
chronological order. While there may be
many worthy tunes missing, nothing here
is undeserving of inclusion, and its expan-
sive method of operation works in its fa-
vor, since it hints at the richness of the
Clash's music. After all, it's no great loss
to have such official singles as "Hitsville
UK." missing, since there are some extra-
ordinary album tracks included. Still, the
compilation is a little problematic. Not be
cause the music isn't great -- it's so great
that the rather bewildering sequencing
does nothing to dilute its power -- but be-
cause it's hard to tell who needs this com-
pilation, apart from complete neophytes.
Granted, in 1988 it marked the first CD
release of this music, but since the appe-
arance of The Singles, Super Black Mar-
ket Clash, and the comprehensive box
set Clash on Broadway, no diehard need
own it, unless they need the otherwise
unavailable edits of such songs as "The
Magnificent Seven" that are included he-
re in lieu of the full-length originals. For
novices, it's not a bad introduction at all,
but it's sort of like a set of training wheels
on a bicycle. Still, as training wheels go,
it's about the best Clash compilation out
there since it draws a fuller picture than
The Singles and is more manageable
than Clash on Broadway. Of course, jum-
ping in with The Clash or London Calling
is just as effective an introduction.
