There was one time and place when I heard London Calling and it sounded awesome. In other settings I was scratching my head. What did they do to that record? (My theory: only the very first releases of the record were all-analog. Lots of digital versions were sold, perhaps as early as 1980 or 1981.) I also had one good experience with Sandinista! Consider the enthusiasm the Clash had to release a triple album in an economical package: "Fans! You've got to hear this!" (Apart from digitalization, I do also wonder if vinyl doesn't suffer perhaps an enormous degradation from just a single play.) The listener is advised to purchase cassettes recorded from vinyl; these were very common and very high quality.
