Review of the film http://www.cinematical.com/2007/01/26/sund...e-is-unwritten/

 

i must admit to being a big fan of the clash,i hate to admit to being a teenager when punk started,but there you go,i have come out of the cupboard :) but they certainly came through the punk scene a better band

I'm saying nothing ;) but this is the story of the cover for London Calling B)

 

The cover features a photograph by Pennie Smith of Paul Simonon smashing his bass guitar against the stage, at The Palladium in New York City - which was at the time the Mecca of punk and new wave music - on 21 September 1979. The picture is surrounded by typography similar to Elvis Presley's debut album. The picture was later voted the best rock and roll photograph of all time by Q magazine, although ironically at the time Smith did not want the picture used. She did not feel it was a technically good shot because the photograph is slightly out of focus (as she was backing away from Paul to avoid getting hit). However, Joe Strummer convinced her to use the shot.
