I appreciate this is nit-picking, but having checked my copy (& other on-line sources) this was a double A-side.
Both tracks equally superb. And a brilliant London Calling video, too.

I occasionally buy/drink their wine.

This is an irregular VFM purchase.
Met the proprietors (Julien & ?) at a Burgundy hosted grower tasting event during the summer. They were very engaging. Purchased a couple as part of a mixed 6 by the domaine.

I dislike autobiographies. This is a well written exception.

I thought LCB was best young & finished my final bottle in 2021. Now some regrets......
I preferred the '17 which was in tip-top nick, last year.
Not seen recent vintages, regretfully.

I was going to argue impossible to forget, but I had forgotten how it builds brilliantly to a crescendo. As MB said, still stirring.
Though, I still regard (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais as their finest moment.

Mrs C & I re-watched the movie last week.
So many quotable lines.The script for the above dry white toast scene is too long, so how about
What kind of music do you usually have here?
Oh, we got both kinds. We got country *and* western.

Purchased the LP a few months ago for the 1st time. 50 years overdue - better late than never.

One of a small handful of song selections to which my children sang along.

3:30 is long enough for any song, surely? Reggae 12" excepted, of course. 🙂

The late released Conscious Consumer LO is worth traving down.
Three track set on OGWT.

A stunning version.

Drank their 1960 a couple years ago. Impressive but not really my thing. Others were much more enthusiastic.

Superb payoff line.

Cracking song. I need to track down more by them.
