IMHO some of her album is better than the vast majority of Sandinista! & I class it more of a Clash album than CTC.

That may officially be a crazy number of copies of SoSL.

...and a crazy opinion, classing it as better than most of Sandinista! :shifty:

You better not be referring to Side 6! *rolls up sleeves but really hopes nothing will come of it*

That’s is serious collecting for a Clash offshoot!
How big is your Clash collection?

I'd rate it as at least as good as maybe a third of 'Sandinista!' and certainly more of a Clash album than CtC, or even the live Clash II. That's just what the band sounded like then, folks (even with all those Blockheads playing). Clash II live was a fantasy of what some people wanted the Clash to sound like (maybe even Joe, for about two minutes. Of course for the rest of his career - from LRW to the Meskies - he'd cop the late Clash template, not the hard-rawk posturing of Clash II).

It looks like you're missing one version! The regular UK LP, which has the lettering on the front moved away from the photo, into the white border:
