DESCRIPTION:
Punk/ Funk/ Rock 7" Repressed - For the first time in decades, The Clash’s iconic track ‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go’ will be released as a 7” single on colour vinyl. With brand new artwork and pressed on sunshine yellow vinyl, this striking product will also feature the full version of ‘Straight to Hell’ on the B-Side for the first time; a nod to the original 1982 7” release which featured an edit of this track.
First released in 1982, 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go' should require little to no explanation for any self-professed London punk aficionado. Originally appearing on The Clash's fifth studio full-length Combat Rock, the track was primarily penned by guitarist Mick Jones (who also handles lead vocals), though he would later go on record to clarify that the lyrics do not pertain to either his eventual departure from the group nor his tumultuous relationship with singer/actress Ellen Foley - "It wasn't about anybody specific and it wasn't pre-empting my leaving The Clash. It was just a good rockin' song, our attempt at writing a classic." In that they would most definitely succeed, while the track would receive a second wind in 1991 with its resurgence via a Levis ad campaign resulting in a re-release. Lovingly remastered, this 7" restoration comes again complete with Combat Rock's anti-racist, all-too-relevant 'Straight To Hell' on the flip, that sees Joe Strummer touch on the shuttering of British steel mills, anti-immigrant rhetoric and the Vietnam war.
