“Black Market Clash” by The Clash - album review

features in: (B-list) Album Chart of 1980(B-list) Album Chart of the 1980s

TJR says

A 10” compilation LP released in October 1980, only in the US and Canada. It compiles recordings which had only been available ’til then as imports. The A-side features cool covers of The Maytals “Pressure Drop” and Booker T.’s “Time Is Tight”, whilst side B focuses on the groups love for reggae style fusion, with the extended version of “Bankrobber” a career highlight and and a fantastic cover of Willie Williams “Armagideon Time”.
