Third best performing 45 while The Clash were a fully functioning band, reaching #17 in the summer of 1982. What many folk might find surprising is that it was a much more successful single in the UK than Rock The Casbah which had preceeded about six weeks previously.mp3 : The Clash - Should I Stay Or Should I Go
mp3 : The Clash - Straight To Hell
Both ripped straight from an original 12" single bought in 1982

If you don't there may be trouble...
Actually I never liked this band and never understood why people loved them so much? But as we use to say "Tous les goûts sont dans la nature" ;)
I think Straight to Hell is Strummer's finest moment among a career of amazing moments! Combat Rock is not my favorite album...It signaled for me as a fan at the time, that things might be going wrong for the band...and then they did. I wish they didn't have the pressure of the record company to produce, because a few of the songs, along with the Radio Clash single would have made for a killer stop gap EP while they really got their heads around a next album after coming off the Sandinista tour.
