Author Martin Popoff dissects each of the Clash's ninety-one studio tracks, examining the circumstances that led to their creation, the recording processes, the historical contexts and more. In addition, introductory essays set the scene for the band's six studio releases (including the double LP \u003cem\u003eLondon Calling\u003c\/em\u003e and the triple \u003cem\u003eSandinista!\u003c\/em\u003e) and feature sidebars detailing studios, release dates, personnel, and more. Illustrated with rare performance and offstage photography, along with images of 7-inch singles sleeves and gig posters, the resulting volume is a fitting tribute to the foursome whose staunch political stance and groundbreaking amalgam of punk, rockabilly, reggae, and hip-hop earned the title \"The Only Band That Matters.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePopoff, Martin:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eAt approximately 7,900 (with over 7,000 appearing in his books), \u003cstrong\u003eMartin Popoff\u003c\/strong\u003e has unofficially written more record reviews than anybody in the history of music writing across all genres.
