I was envisioning my 5 star rating as I listened with delight to the joyful rebellion of side one. The only downer was “Deny,” which was promptly rescued by “London Calling.” It turns out “Deny” was a bit of a harbinger as side two waned a bit. A little less joy here, a little less rebellion there. And interestingly enough, for the US version released a full TWO years later, “Deny” and other weaker songs were replaced with songs like “Clash City Rockers” and “I Fought the Law.” A stronger album…but not the original. Ironically, the US version is less “boring.” But still 4 stars for the UK and for a great band whose talent would expand in the years that followed.
