Pearl Harbour ’79

~ Release by The Clash (see all versions of this release, 25 available)

Annotation

Pearl Harbour '79 is a japanease only variant of the first, self-titled Clash album.

The cardboard box shows the same artwork as the US release, but a paper wraparound gives it it's unique artwork and title. The release is split onto a regular CD and an 8cm bonus CD.

The packaging tries to replicate the Japanese vinyl release from 1979, which also came with a 7" bonus single and the paper wraparound.

Each disc has its unique catalog number:
MHCP 522 for the first disc, MHCP 523 is the bonus disc. MHCP 522-3 is written on the spine
