{"product_id":"combat-rock","title":"Combat Rock","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the surface of things, \u003cem\u003eCombat Rock\u003c\/em\u003e appears to be a retreat from the sprawling stylistic explorations of \u003cem\u003eLondon Calling\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSandinista!\u003c\/em\u003e The pounding arena rock of \"Should I Stay or Should I Go\" makes the Clash sound like an arena rock band, and much of the album boasts a muscular, heavy sound courtesy of producer Glyn Johns . But things aren't quite that simple. \u003cem\u003eCombat Rock\u003c\/em\u003e contains heavy flirtations with rap, funk, and reggae, and it even has a cameo by poet Allen Ginsberg. You can hear that the band is tearing apart in two separate directions - Mick Jones wants \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ohjeanrecords.com\/collections\/the-clash\"\u003ethe Clash\u003c\/a\u003e to inherit \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ohjeanrecords.com\/collections\/the-who-1\"\u003ethe Who\u003c\/a\u003e 's righteous arena rock stance, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ohjeanrecords.com\/collections\/joe-strummer\"\u003eJoe Strummer\u003c\/a\u003e wants to forge ahead into black music. The result is an album that is nearly as inconsistent as Sandinista! , even though its finest moments - \"Should I Stay or Should I Go,\" \"Rock the Casbah,\" \"Straight to Hell\" - illustrate why the Clash were able to reach a larger audience than ever before with the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"352\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1ZH5g1RDq3GY1OvyD0w0s2?utm_source=generator\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Clash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":965393929,"sku":"88985391771","price":47.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0397\/2773\/files\/The_Clash_Combat_Rock_Vinyl_LP.jpg?v=1789008969","url":"https:\/\/www.ohjeanrecords.com\/products\/combat-rock","provider":"Oh!
