Beautiful UK Original Pressing. “The Pairing Of The Fiercely English And Shyly Commercial Clash With American Big-Shot Producer Sandy Pearlman (Blue Öyster Cult, But Also The Dictators) Proved Controversial But Fruitful On Give 'Em Enough Rope. By Exchanging The Band's Garageland Raunch For Heavily Overlaid, Crystal Clear Guitars And Drums, Pearlman Delivered A Supercharged Rock Sound For Some Of Strummer/Jones's Most Stirring And Sensitive Songs — "Safe European Home," "Tommy Gun," "English Civil War," "Stay Free" And "All The Young Punks (New Boots And Contracts)." Studio Sophistication Did Nothing To Blunt The Band's Power — Quite The Opposite, Especially In Terms Of Headon's Authoritative Drumming — And Their Defiant Confidence To Mix In More Liberal Amounts Of Sensitivity And Cleverness Only Adds To The Album's Appeal. Jones' Vocal On "Stay Free" Casts Him As The Tenderhearted Member Of The Band But, As A Guitarist, His Work Throughout Goes Against Punk's Early Egalitarian Precepts, Proudly Standing Up As A Genuine Guitar Hero For The New Age.” – Ira Robbins, Trouserpress.com
