London Calling is the third studio album by English rock band the Clash. It is a double album, released in the United Kingdom on 14 December 1979 by CBS Records, and in the United States in January 1980 by Epic Records.

This copy is an original first Terre Haute pressing [variant 6?, see Notes, below] and is complete with original cover and original inner sleeves with printed lyrics.  Note that although this was released in the US in 1980, the year referenced on both the cover and labels is "1979".  A sticker on the front of the cover says, "THIS ALBUM INCLUDES LYRIC CONTENT WHICH MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC."  The song "Train in Vain" appears as track 5 on side 4, but is not mentioned anywhere on the cover, the inner sleeves, or the disc label.  

Overall, the vinyl on all four sides is in excellent [EX] condition. [Note that there is one small visible flaw on side two, but it does not affect playback.] The cover is in excellent [EX] condition, with only a couple of small wrinkles along the spine.  The inner sleeves are all in excellent [EX] condition, with no splits, tears, wrinkles, writing, stains, etc.
