Single Change Straight To Hell was released as a single. I know that there is a picture disk release. I believe it was a double A side with Should I Stay or Should I Go (I may be mistaken). I don't know if it was a radio single (probably not), but I know it had a single release.

[edit] Ghetto Defendant

Part of the song (the spoken part) sounds like it was taken from a movie or someone big recorded it. Does anyone know anything about it? Yanksox 13:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I believe in one of the booklets (possibly in The Clash on Broadway) they mention Allen Ginsberg did it during an improv session. Wikipedia in fact mentions this here:

This picture below at least shows Ginsberg with the band, though it doesn't mention the song specifically.
