THE CLASH "white riot" b/w "1977"
the debut single from the Clash...just scraped into the top40 in the UK at #38, failed to chart anywhere else(as did most punk material!)
both the "a" and "b" sides here clock in at under 2minutes...just fast,furious, straight to the point rock...sort of 'say what you gotta say, get in, get out,too easy" sort of stuff!
a lot of people in the UK back in the day took the lead track as a call to arms for BNP(british national party-white supremicist group) to start a revolution, obviously this was not the case...
the song is a punk classic and appears on their brilliant debut album "the clash.
