Black Market Clash was released only in the US between the releases of London Calling and Sandinista! It compiled recordings which were then unavailable in the US except as imports, many of which were produced by Sandy Pearlman during the "Give 'Em Enough Rope" sessions. It was one of series of 10" records that Epic released by various artists, including Gary Glitter and New Musik, under the name Epic "Nu-Disk".
Side One features "The Prisoner," a cover of Toots & the Maytals' "Pressure Drop," and "City of the Dead," which were b-sides from the period 1977-79, although "Pressure Drop," is presented in a remix by Bill Price. "Cheat" from their debut album had been left off the US version. At the time of release Black Market Clash was the only record that featured a cover of Booker T & the MGs' instrumental "Time Is Tight". "Capital Radio One" was extremely rare in the UK, so much so that the group had recorded a new version, which was originally released on The Cost of Living (EP). The inclusion of the original "Capital Radio" on Black Market Clash made the mini album extremely collectible for even UK fans.
Side Two is made up of the original versions and dub versions of "Bankrobber" and "Armagideon Time". "Bankrobber" segues into "Robber Dub," which was originally intended for a "Bankrobber" 12" single and appeared here for the first time, while the dub version of "Armagideon Time" is titled, "Justice Tonight/Kick It Over", previously available only as the b-side to the 12-inch import "London Calling" single.
"Black Market Clash" was reissued on 12" vinyl and cassette, with the same track listing as the 10", at some point in the '80s.
Black Market Clash was re-released on CD in 1991, but was discontinued when Super Black Market Clash replaced it. However, in late 2006, the album appears to be once again available as stores such as HMV in Canada are currently stocking the item.

My records are graded visually in accordance with Record Collector's Grading System as follows:
EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
+ or - indicates a grading in between categories
