About the Release:

September 21st sees the release of the Legacy Edition of this album. Now expanded to 3 discs, this 25th Anniversary Edition is sure to create a frenzy of interest among fans and the media.

December 2004 marks the quarter century of the Rolling Stone magazine named it the #1 album of the 80's. Q Magazine put it in the Top 5 Best British Albums of all time and called Pennie Smith's provocative cover shot as "The Most Iconic Image In Rock & Roll." With its numerous accolades from the media, industry and music buyers alike, it is one of the most recognized and influential albums of a generation.

About the album:
DISC ONE is the original album - remastered for great sound.

DISC TWO - "The Vanilla Tapes" : the recently-discovered, previously unheard "London Calling" rehearsal sessions! Mick Jones and Paul Simonon personally selected the best 21 songs on the tape and went into the studio to remaster them. The tapes include 5 songs that never made it on to the album, including a cover of Bob Dylan's "The Man In Me." This rare material has not only never been released before, nobody knew the tape EXISTED until recently.

DISC THREE (DVD) - The Last Testament - The Making of London Calling - an exclusive 45 minute documentary produced by longtime Clash collaborator Don Letts. The documentary includes newly discovered footage of Guy Stevens and The Clash in the recording studio, previously unused live performance footage, interviews with Mick,
Paul, Topper and Joe and for the first time ever Kosmo Vinyl telling his side of the story. Also included as bonus extras are the promo videos from the album and 16 minutes of never-before-seen footage of The Clash and Guy Stevens recording in Wessex studio.

The album will packaged in a deluxe digipak with an extensive color book including rare photos and illustrations, in-depth essays and a fold-out lyric sheet.
