Initially released as an obscure, 10-inch vinyl compilation for the North American market, 'Black Market Clash' gathers rare B-sides, cover versions, and extensive dub remixes. The tracks highlight the band's rapid stylistic expansion beyond three-chord punk, focusing heavily on their profound integration of Jamaican reggae, ska, and dub production techniques. It serves as a crucial companion piece documenting their experimental evolution leading up to the massive success of 'London Calling'.
