Although I'd heard White Riot, to me the Clash were just another of the hundreds of bands around at the time knocking out these short sharp blasts of energy that were making buying records a pleasure.
Then along came this and it became the greatest punk song I'd heard (and still is).
The B side always makes me think "X Ray Spex" when it starts
I'm sort of ashamed that despite listening to this song about a thousand times I never actually knew the proper lyrics, so thanks to John Liedown for pointing them out :)
