The U.S. version of "The Clash" by The Clash was released in July 1979 on Epic, a modified version of "The Clash" for the United States market.
This version replaced four songs from the original version with five non-album singles and B-sides, some of which were recorded and released after the Clash's second studio album, "Give 'Em Enough Rope" (1978). It also used the re-recorded single version of "White Riot", rather than the original take featured on the UK version.
Omitted from the U.S. version were the following tracks:
"Deny", "Cheat", "Protex Blue", "48 Hours" and "White Riot" (original version).
Added were the following tracks:
"Clash City Rockers", initially released as a single (A-side) in the UK in February 1978;
"Complete Control", initially released as a single (A-side) in the UK in September 1977;
"White Riot" (re-recorded version), initially released as a single (A-side) in the UK in March 1977;
"(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais", initially released as a single (A-side) in the UK in June 1978;
"I Fought The Law", initially released as a track on the Clash EP "The Cost Of Living" in the UK in May 1979;
"Jail Guitar Doors", initially released as the B-side to "Clash City Rockers" in the UK in February 1978.
Initial copies of the U.S. version also came with a bonus 7-inch single which featured "Groovy Times" and "Gates Of The West".
The album was reissued in 1990 on Epic.
