London Calling
'
The album received positive reviews and was ranked at number eight on Rolling Stone' list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.[3] London Calling was a top ten album in the UK, and its lead single "London Calling" was a top twenty single.[4] It has sold over two million copies worldwide,[3] and was certified platinum in the United States.[5]
Though London Calling was released as a double album
it was only sold for the price of a single album. The Clash's record
label, CBS, at first denied the band's request for the album to be
released as a double. In return CBS gave permission for the band to
include a free 12-inch single that played at 33⅓ rpm. Ultimately, the planned 12-inch record became a second nine-track LP.[8]
