672.0. "The Clash on CD" by BCSE::RYAN (To CD or not CD...) Tue Mar 10 1987 12:54

	Does anyone know where to find "London Calling" on CD? I
	ordered it from CDC but didn't get it (even on backorder).
	I've looked in several stores but haven't seen it.
	Interestingly, my order list from CDC showed it with a
	single-disk price, even though I'm positive there's well over
	75 minutes of music on the 2-record set. Schwann lists it as 2
	disks. Also, anyone have any word on whether "Sandanista" will
	come out on CD (and whether they'll try to fit it on 2 CD's)?
	
	While we're here, any comments on any of the other Clash CD's
	(particularly pre-"Combat Rock")?

        The latest Digital Audio has an ad for Clash CDs that shows all the
        albums. Black Market Clash was not there, but that doesn't surprise
        me since it was really just a place to stick most of their non-LP
        cuts.
672.2"London Calling" = 1 CDLASSEN::PURMALSilly Con Valley GuyTue Mar 10 1987 15:466
        Tower Records in Mountain View, California had scads of "London
    Calling" CDs.  It is on one CD and was priced at $17.99 as opposed
    to their usual $14.99.  They also had "Give 'em Enough Rope" but
    I didn't see the price.

    BCD's latest "what's new/what's coming" flyer lists London Calling
    and Sandinista as due this month.
    
    Silly Valley's too far to drive, I'll wait a week.

    I found it at Lechmere for $19.99 - it's a jammin' disk!
672.5BCSE::RYANTo CD or not CD...Thu Mar 19 1987 14:387
	Did all the music from "London Calling" really fit on one
	disk, or did something get cut? I used to have the two-record
	set, and I had the impression that it held an above-average
	amount of music (i.e., more than 40 minutes per record). Maybe
	it just seemed like more:-).

672.6BCSE::RYANTo CD or not CD...Wed Mar 25 1987 12:437
	I was at BCD last night, they still don't have a copy of
	"London Calling" but told me it is indeed a single disk
	containing all the music from the records. They did have
	Sandinista (it's on 2 disks). No, I didn't pick it up, I'm
	holding out for "London Calling".

     I saw London Calling at Lechmere in Framingham a couple of days
     ago. The single disk was priced at 19.99. It's on CBS so the 20%
     off applies.
672.8Finally!BCSE::RYANTo CD or not CD...Fri Mar 27 1987 16:2213
	I finally got "London Calling", I was starting to think there
	was a conspiracy to keep it from me. I got it from Lechmere in
	the Pheasant Lane Mall, as .7 said $19.99 minus the 20%
	discount. All songs indeed fit comfortably on one disk. Sound
	quality is surprisingly poor, however, for a late-seventies
	recording. High level of hiss, not much clarity, relatively
	dull sound,... But the music is worth it!
	
	If CBS could put that on one disk, why not Chicago II? Ah
	well, ours not to wonder why, but to only buy the good
	deals:-).
