Description
THE CLASH' 12" VINYL LP 'GIVE EM ENOUGH ROPE' SIGNED BY JOE STRUMMER, MICK JONES, PAUL SIMONON AND TOPPER HEADON COMES COMPLETE WITH A COA. THE ALBUM SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE VINYL HAS ONE HAIRLINE SCRATCH ABOUT 1" LONG ON SIDE 2. THE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT THERE IS SOME SPINDLE WEAR. OVERALL, THIS ALBUM IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION.
ALONG WITH THE SEX PISTOLS, THE CLASH SPEARHEADED THE PUNK MOVEMENT WHICH ITSELF CHANGED MUSIC FOREVER. WITH THEIR POLITICALLY CHARGED LYRICS AND ENERGETIC LIVE SHOWS THE CLASH PUT THEMSELVES ON THE MUSIC MAP AND REFUSED TO LEAVE.
The album's title was inspired by the expression "give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves". It was voted album of the year for 1978 by Rolling Stone and Time magazines, as well as the popular UK music weekly, Sounds. The latter gave it a glowing review upon release, with writer Dave McCullough calling it "swash-buckled heavy-metal" and claiming it to be "The best LP since the last Clash LP, both, I personally feel, transcending anything ever recorded".
