The Clash – Complete Control

I have a mint Condition copy of the exact single as above if interested please email me at [email protected]
My Name is Grant

My runouts match this copy, but has the Nineden Ltd. / Riva Music labels.

I had a copy of this in generic cbs sleeve, but with an audible "1 2 3 4" count in by Mick Jones. is this listed here anywhere, as can't see it??

I have this copy but it has a push out centre and 'A Stiff Record' written in the matrix of side b.

some copies have a pink on black "Punk" sticker on front. Very rare.

Seem to have a Spanish green vinyl version pic cover but possibly a re print or vg condition

Mine has a pink sticker on the front of the cover & I think a Dutch import from 77

My 7" comes only in CBS paper dust protector, was this another release that came without the artwork or has the record cover been misplaced?

'Complete Control' was voted No. 9 in the 1977 John Peel Festive Fifty, No. 2 the following year, No.5 in 1979, No. 15 in 1980, No. 18 in 1981, No. 19 in 1982 (from 1982 it became a poll of the year instead of an all-time top 50 tracks). A true power punk track that was a highlight of the live show. Not a much evidence of what 'Scratch' was up to but Paul Simonon (talking of Lee Perry on the Complete Control session) said 'He was like a whirlwind in the studio, quite erratic actually. But to me, Lee Perry is the Ennio Morricone of Jamacian Music. He's that influential and I think it's only now people are beginning to realise that'.
