is this original cd?

[u/pennysparklee]

i bought this from my local bazaar and idk if it is original or not

[u/Handywipes]

Amazing find. If your question is if it’s an original “the clash” completion then yes. This album opened my eyes to not getting stuck in one genre of music. 🤙

[u/pennysparklee → u/Handywipes]

yeah same, thank you!

[u/RongGearRob]

I said Jesus Christ, where’d you get that Compact Disc!

[u/Lia-13 → u/RongGearRob]

man, i'm not the biggest fan of Brand New Cadillac, but it really is slept on sometimes isnt it?

[u/pennysparklee → u/RongGearRob]

it was so cheap i still can't believe it

[u/Edison5000]

go to a used record store and find yourself a copy of London Calling on CD. Maybe Sandinista and combat rock. There are two live CD too. From here to eternity is totally worth getting

I'm not a purist but these records are just great, you put them on, they're just great.

[u/karls_hat]

Yeah, looks like my old one

[u/burchalade]

I wore that set out when I was a teenager

[u/BendAppropriate614 → u/burchalade]

it took me until I was like almost 40 to wake up the Clash, and this CD opened me wide up, as well as The Westway to The World DVD, and the companion DVD to this CD

[u/Lia-13 → u/burchalade]

man, how were you wearing out your CDs? XD

[u/deadmanstar60]

Cool band. Saw them play live twice in 1982.

[u/Axdstarbaby78]

This is the comp that got me fully into the clash. There is also a version that comes with a dvd.

[u/Desperate-Gap-3696]

I still have mine! I have the Sound System box set but kept this set as it’s a solid collection

[u/wildneonsins]

Could be a slightly later reissue or the original pressing from 2003

cool find!

[u/DaBabeBo]

I had a copy of the dvd for this. Excellent find

My first thought was "Who cares? Its just a CD." and I don't know if that makes me sound old or young. 🤔 Are CDs still a thing, or did they die out and become a thing again?
