Pubblicato in simultanea con “Sound System”, The Clash Hits Back include 33 tra le più rappresentative hit dei The Clash in 2 CD.
La sequenza dei brani è la stessa del leggendario concerto al Fairdeal di Brixton del 1982 e include le migliori registrazioni da studio della scaletta originale più 8 grandi successi. Include anche la scaletta originale scritta a mano da Joe Strummer, quella che era solito incollare sul monitor prima di ogni concerto.
“Ogni concerto era differente. Joe dedicava molto tempo a definire la sequenza dei brani, prendeva in considerazione la dinamicità, l’impatto emotive e la tonalità dei brani. Questa raccolta è basata sulla scaletta di Joe creata per la data del 10 luglio 1982 al Fairdeal di Brixton durante il Casbah Club Tour”. Mick, Paul & Topper
