The Clash: Konkrete Klockwork

Kris Needs, ZigZag, April 1977

Within a year they have become the most exciting live band in the country, and shortly they will release an album which is the most stunning debut for years...I believe it'll be as important as the first Rolling Stones album in shaping a new direction for rock'n'roll.
