MOJO CLASSIC; ULTIMATE COLLECTORS EDITION
THE CLASH 146 pages
The first issue of Punk Icons unfolds the story of The Clash, from Mick Jones and Paul Simonon poaching Joe Strummer from pub rockers The 101’ers to form the group, to the chaos and destruction of their 1977 White Riot tour; and thereon from the controversial visits to America that inspired the London Calling, Sandinista! and Combat Rock albums, to the dramatic dismissal of first drummer Topper Headon in 1982, and then Jones the following year.
In between you’ll find rucks, riots, ripping tunes and a devotion to all things reggae, as The Clash earned their reputation as rock’s ultimate rebels.

November 2022, Strummer review
From joints in the depature lounge to mayhem on the bus, the last years of JOE STRUMMER were a chaotic, uproarious reiteration of his rock’n’roll code. Along for the ride: a maverick new band, The Mescaleros. Lurking in the backgrounds The Clash, and a momentous legacy to honour and challenge. Twenty years after his death, Pat Gilbert rounds up the gang to salute Strummer’s last stand. “He made you feel invincible,” they remember. Photograph: Birian Rasic
