Clash on Broadway

Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Album ratings Clash on Broadway is a box set compilation album by the English punk rock band the Clash, released on Legacy Records in 1991. It comprises 64 tracks on three compact discs, spanning the time period from their 1977 debut single, "White Riot", through the Combat Rock album of 1982. It does not include material from the band's final sessions led by Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon, resulting in the final album Cut the Crap (1985). It was initially released in longbox form.

Content

The set contains five previously unreleased tracks, two early demo recordings, and three live recordings, one of which had been released on a film soundtrack. Thirteen of the eighteen singles released during the time frame covered appear, leaving out "Remote Control", released as a single against the band's wishes, "English Civil War" and "I Fought the Law", both of which appear via live versions, as well as "Hitsville UK" and "Know Your Rights".

Disc one contains mostly recordings taken from the band's early singles, including the extended play single Capital Radio (1977), and their 1977 debut album. The four songs deleted from the British version of The Clash album and replaced by singles tracks for the American version—"Deny", "Protex Blue", "Cheat" and "48 Hours"—are included. Disc two focuses on tracks from the albums Give 'Em Enough Rope (1978) and London Calling (1979), and the extended play single The Cost of Living (1979). Disc three contains tracks from Sandinista! (1980) and Combat Rock (1982), with tracks from the latter including both edited and unedited versions.
