the classic b-sides they released I am sure only 'die hard' Clash
fans (Like me) would have purchased all of their singles and albums. The Clash released so many brilliant a and b-sides everyone should know them.
Choosing a Clash song is nearly impossible, but in the end I went for one of my all time faves 'Clash City Rockers' I can still remember the day I bought this and rushing home, the brilliant distinctive Clash guitar riff, and then 'Strummer's' even more distinctive vocals literally shouting out the lyrics, I still love it even today.
The b-side 'Jail Guitar Doors' is equally (well nearly) brilliant, and if you haven't heard it yet, you are in for a real treat.

One of the many good things about the Clash was that they released singles that were not on their albums, good for the fans, so if you want both of these tracks you will have to buy a greatest hits and a collection album:
