MOJO CLASSIC, 2001 - 146 pages

ULTIMATE COLLECTORS EDITION: THE CLASH

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.
