Notes
An odds-and-sods assortment from the Clash archives, featuring various singles and B-sides of some note. Well worth hearing, though an updated version was released later as Super Black Market Clash. -- Steven McDonald (allmusic.com)

CBS's transparent attempt to class up a dumb new line of ten-inch LPs that some marketeer thinks will make collectors of us all, this hodgepodge makes more sense than Elvis the C's long-awaited full-sized hodgepodge nevertheless. First side combines B's and a U.K.-only album cut from '77-'78, when everything they did was touched with the desperate euphoria of revolutionary holdouts, with two garageland covers, the Toots appropriate and the Booker T. a stroke. Second is spacy Clash dub plus hooks, with the yearning "Bankrobber" more lyrical than anything else they've committed to plastic. Yet. A- -- Robert Christgau
