Produced by The Clash’s resident innovator, Mick Jones, and even boasting a vocal cameo from Kate Moss, Down In Albion evokes the sights and smells of its era yet also possesses a forward looking perspective which creates a perpetually relevant body of work that both charts and soothes the human condition.
 
Accompanying the album’s original 16 tracks, the anniversary edition includes five carefully chosen songs from the band’s archives, with several – despite bootleg fame amongst the band’s fanbase – getting their first official release.
 
This edition not only celebrates their visceral mix of personal experience and state of the nation observations, but also pays tribute to Babyshambles’ Walden, who passed away earlier this year. While his characterful playing and melodic innovation is etched deep within Down In Albion's music, the guitarist's portrait, photographed by Hedi Slimane, has also been embedded within the sleeve using a special UV gloss.
