No filler there. American rock bands would do that. Get one or two hit tracks and put it on an album with filler crap music. So that a rock band might have a whole album of good music, but they spread that music out over several albums to make good money from loyal fans.

The Clash are one of the greatest and most versatile rock bands ever. They could pull of any style: rock/hard rock (London Calling, Tommy Gun), reggae rock (Guns of Brixton, Safe European Home), pop (Train in Vain, Lost in the Supermarket, Stay Free), punk (Career Opportunities, Janie Jones) and these are just some of the many amazing tracks they had.

I heard Train in Vain once on the radio and spent the next two weeks in record stores looking for the album. Didnt know their name. Actually bought a fountry album with "Stand By Me" on it first. But after i found "London Calling" and listened to the whole album, nothing else mattered. You could have taken all of my other albums (The Cars, Blue Oyster Cult, etc.) and i wouldn't have cared. But if you tried to take this one we would be fighting. For the next couple of years this was the only cassette in my car. My younger brother Geoff and i would rock to it. The dash on his side was perfect for playing drums. We picked up this kid hitchhiking one day when Jimmy Jazz was playing. Kid looked at us funny. We laughed and continued singing along. Priceless memories. At the time no one else was listening to them. The in 1990, Rolling Stone had their best 100 albums of the 80s. And London Calling was number 1. Konda loved it. Kinda hated it. Because it was only us at the time. Then Rock the Casbah and Should I Stay came out and everyone loved them.

I used to think that Rudie Can't Fail had reggae elements, but that was just because reggae figured prominently in so many of their other songs like White Man in Hammersmith Palais. This song here, by far the biggest influence is the rhythmic strokes of the great Bo Diddley. No question about it. Rudie Can't Fail's momma was 50's rock n' roll.

I had this album, my favourite track. I believe there were two different covers circulating on its release, the cover i had above, and the more common on where Woody's head is cocked to one side ? Could anyone provide inside into this please ?

Lyrics: Sing, Michael, sing On the route of the nineteen bus Hear them sayin' How you get a rude and a reckless? Don't you be so crude and feckless You been drinking brew for breakfast Rudie can't fail We reply I know that my life make you nervous But I tell you that I can't live in service Like the doctor who was born for a purpose Rudie can't fail I went to the market to realize my soul What I need I just don't have First they curse, then they press me till I hurt We say Rudie can't fail First you must cure your temper Then you find a job in a paper You need someone for a savior Oh, Rudie can't fail We reply Now we get a rude and a reckless We been seen lookin' cool an' speckless We been drinking brew for breakfast Rudie can't fail I went to the market to realize my soul 'Cause what I need I just don't have First they curse, then they press me till I hurt Rudie can't fail Okay! Okay! So where you want to go today? Hey boss man! You're looking pretty smart With your chicken skin suit You think you're pretty hot In the pork pie hat Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail Rudy can't fail
