The first time you heard CtC

[JennyB]

My story was pretty much like Dr. M's.

Gen X powers, activate!

Kill the Millenials!

Hey, Hoy, I've got a cup of Bruce juice for you. (Get ready, J, take him out at the knees.)

Done. I'm already dressed as an Asian chick holding a bowl of brown rice.

Well, that was a spit-take.

In all seriousness, it makes my day when I make you guys laugh. You all are so witty and hilarious, that on the rare occasion I say something funny, it makes me happy.

Aw shucks, ma'am. All you have to do is watch old Dean Martin roasts and the New WKRP, then crib shamelessly.

Or just make fun of Hoy. That is comedy gold!

Okay, okay, that was good.

[Flex]

I approve of your most recently listened to songs, Hoy.

To this day I have never seen a copy of CTC in Oklahoma (other than the one I bought). I was 16 and had all the other albums, FHTE, Story Of..., SBMC, COB, etc. I had to hear this final scrap of music from the Clash. So I scoured the record stores in Norman and Southern OKC. I gave in and special ordered the damn thing. I had great anticipation and waited a few weeks. Didn't come went to the store they said it was on back order. Three months later it showed up. I grabbed my older bro because his car had a cd player. We drove to Norman, I jumped out bought the thing and jumped back in the car as fast as possible. I put it in. The drums? What's wrong with them? My brothers says "This sounds shitty" and I tell him with all confidence "It'll get better it's just an intro." The guitars and verses of Dictator give me some hope but by the time the musical exsanguination of the chorus hits I know it is never getting better. I listened to it that day and put it away for about 3 years.

The first time I heard CTC I was busy programming a drum machine in Munich.

I bought it on vinyl the day it was released. It was the first Clash album released since I'd gotten into them, so I was very excited, especially after hearing the This Is England single. I rushed home on the bus, slightly confused by the wretched sleeve and the sinister inner-sleeve communique.

I distinctly remember the opening bars of Dictator, and thinking there was something wrong with my copy, there seemed to be eight songs going on at once. My eyebrows suddenly raised at the first off-key horn squonk, and I realized this was no London Calling.

In time I grew to like it, though it was really put in the shade by the first BAD album at the time.

You must of been excited the first time you heard it hes...ya know because theres no drummer.

[Kory]

There was no first time for me. I have always known CtC, as CtC has always existed. I was born knowing it.









Pity me.

[JoseUnidos]

Bought it on vinyl a couple of days after it came out. I had already bought the This Is England which was so-so, but I was never crazy about most of the Clash's singles anyway (the foldout poster was kinda cool, though). I took it home & immediately played it once, then I played it again. I probably listened to it a handful of times over the next couple of weeks but other than that it hasn't graced my turntable since 1985. My Second biggest musical purchase disappointment (the first being X's" Ain't Love Grand").
