What's so bad about it?

I think it's a pretty neat concept for a cover that fits nicely with the song.

I think it's a good cover design. It does fit in with the song and both characters are in the RTC video.

I was trying to find the worst Clash single cover and this is about as bad as I could do:



Which are both pretty good.

The Call Up's a lot cooler looking than the dated looking CCR's cover.

In a fairly rare turn of events, my view is precisely the opposite of Maj's.

I love that CCR cover, both are great covers.

CCR works soley on the fact that it has that cheap tacky D.I.Y. look and feel and that the boldness of the handwritten lettering is made all the more effective on it's blue background making it stand out. Very punk in the same way Jamie Reid used the colours Pink and Yellow on the "Bollocks" sleeve.

Definately and thats what I love about it.

And you disagree just to be wrong.

Okay, well let me refrain, not of all time but of the band's output. Straight to Hell and SISOSIG had much better art of the CR era on them then RTC.

I like it, it's says Clash II to me. Just a shame it's design is to look like Joe on the cover. Punk in the UK in the 80's was all mohawks.
