[edit] Reviews

Q Magazine (4/00, p.107) comments: " ...about as good as record consumption gets." and Melody Maker (2/29/00, pp.48-9) writes: "...represents the finest body of work a British band has left since The Beatles....concentrating heavily on their finest 2 albums [The Clash and London Calling]....Perfect."
