På denne særlige dag – for 35 år siden – udkom The Clashs tredje studiealbum London Calling i Storbritannien. I sin forbrugervejledning giver Robert Christgau pladen den flotte karakter A+ og giver den følgende anbefaling med på vejen:

“Here’s where they start showing off. If “Lost in the Supermarket,” for instance, is just another alienated-consumption song, it leaps instantly to the head of the genre on the empathy of Mick Jones’s vocal. And so it goes. Complaints about “slick” production are absurd–Guy Stevens slick?–and insofar as the purity of the guitar attack is impinged upon by brass, pianner, and shuffle, this is an expansion, not a compromise. A gratifyingly loose Joe Strummer makes virtuoso use of his four-note range, and Paul Simonon has obviously been studying his reggae records. Warm, angry, and thoughtful, confident, melodic, and hard-rocking, this is the best double-LP since Exile on Main Street. And it’s selling for about $7.50.“
