The Clash - Combat rock album cover | |||||||||||||||
Combat Rock is a 1982 album released by The Clash. It was the last album to feature the "original" line-up before Mick Jones left, and Topper Headon was kicked out for his heroin addiction. The album includes many different styles of music, following up the trend from their previous album Sandinista!.
Combat Rock was originally planned as a double album with the working title Rat Patrol from Fort Bragg, but the idea was scrapped after internal wrangling within the group. Mick Jones had produced the first cut, but the other members were dissatisfied and producing duties were handed to Glyn Johns, at which point the album became a single LP. The original cut has since been obtained and subsequently bootlegged. In the United Kingdom the album charted at #2, spending 23 weeks in the UK charts. The album reached #7 in the United States, spending 61 weeks on the chart, and was certified platinum. Following along the same note as Sandinista!, Combat Rock's catalogue number 'FMLN2' is the acronym for the El Salvador political party 'Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional' or FMLN. In January 2000 this album along with the rest of the Clash's catalog was remastered and re-released. Track listing: All songs written by The Clash except where noted. 1.
