Train in Vain (Stand By Me)/ London Calling

This great single's B side — the title song from the awesome double album of the same name — is a dark but eminently danceable punk/grunge tune, the polar opposite of the bright and catchy A side, the group's first U.S. hit. It was the B side that Marsh and Rolling Stone include in their top songs lists. The A side did appear on London Calling, but you wouldn't know it from the record's song lists: The group hid it as an uncredited, unlisted track at the end of the last of the album's four sides. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Epic Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels with some storage wear, and the vinyl (styrene) looks almost untouched. The powerful audio sounds pristine Mint!
