In 1982 The Clash put together a promotional compilation for American radio stations: eleven songs, meant only for DJs and never sold in shops. The World According to The Clash gives that set its first official release, newly remastered and with new artwork by the band itself. Side A opens with Rock the Casbah, Clampdown, Train in Vain (Stand by Me) and Brand New Cadillac, and further on are London Calling, Spanish Bombs and Should I Stay or Should I Go, among others.

This edition is an LP on red vinyl.
