In the UK, London Calling's title track, released few days before the album's release, rose to number 11-the highest position any Clash single reached in the UK before the band's breakup. London Calling, released on December 1979 by CBS and regarded as one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded, reached number 9 on the British chart and number 27 on the US chart.

Produced by Guy Stevens, the double album was a mix of different styles, with greater maturity and production polish. In August and September 1979, the Clash recorded their third studio album, London Calling. In February 1979, CBS released the single, ' English Civil War', and in May the EP, The Cost of Living. The album's first UK single, ' Tommy Gun', rose to number 19. It hit number 2 in the UK, and number 128 on the Billboard chart. The Clash second album, Give 'Em Enough Rope, was released by CBS and produced by Sandy Pearlman in November, receiving largely positive reviews. June saw the release of ' (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais'. In February 1978, the band came out with the single ' Clash City Rockers'. It rose to number 28 on the British Singles Chart. In May, CBS released the single ' Remote Control' without asking them first, and, in September, ' Complete Control', produced by Lee 'Scratch' Perry, was Topper Headon's first recording with the band.

In the same month, the band also released an EP single, Capital Radio, which was given away to NME 's readers. The album ranked number 12 on the UK Albums Chart and number 126 on the Billboard Pop albums chart. Terry Chimes left the band for the second time soon after the recording, so only Joe Strummer, Mick Jones and Paul Simonon were featured on the album's cover, and Chimes was credited as ' Tory Crimes'. A US version of the album with a modified track listing-four songs from the original version were replaced with five non-album singles and B-sides-was released by Epic Records in 1979, after the UK original became the best-selling import album of all time in the United States. In April, CBS released their self-titled debut album, The Clash, in the United Kingdom, but refused to release it in the United States, saying that the sound was not 'radio friendly'. The Clash's first official recording was the single for ' White Riot', released by CBS Records in March 1977.
