Critical Praise


 “It turns out that while a majority of the stories you've heard are in fact true, the minutiae of their existence as told by the band members themselves, is what really make this book a must-purchase for Clash fans, as well as a great Christmas gift for your young and rebellious brother / sister / cousin / distant relative.”
– Blogcritics.org

 

 “Many people have an opinion about what made them who they were -- this book gives the chance to read the full story, from all four band members themselves. Big, hardcover, lots of art (b&w and color).”

“It’s big, it’s pink, and it’s awesome. The book is a treasure trove of photographs, set lists, notes, and other memorabilia that fans can spend hours poring over.”
