The Clash released their second album “Give ‘Em Enough Rope” on November 10, 1978. The album cover features a painting in stark flat colors of a Chinese horseman looking down at an American cowboy’s body being picked at by vultures.

The album art was designed by Gene Greif, based on an old 1950’s postcard titled “End of the Trail” that was photographed by Adrian Atwater, and featured cowboy Wallace Irving Robertson. Here is the original postcard manufactured by Desert Supply Inc. Las Vegas, NV…

Joe Strummer and Mick Jones had come across a painting titled “End of the Trail for Capitalism” by Berkeley artist Hugh Brown on display at San Francisco’s punk rock hangout Mabuhay Gardens. I am assuming Brown made the painting and Greif put it all together for the album cover and the back cover.

For their second album, the Clash worked with the American hard rock producer Sandy Pearlman, best-known for his work with Blue Öyster Cult and the Dictators. The teaming was quite controversial within the punk community, and the sound of Give 'Em Enough Rope is considerably cleaner, yet the more direct sound hardly tamed the Clash. While the record doesn't burn with the same intense, amateurish energy of The Clash, it does have a big, forceful sound that is nearly as powerful. What keeps Give 'Em Enough Rope from being a classic is its slightly inconsistent material. Many of the songs are outright classics, particularly the first half of the record ('Safe European Home,' 'English Civil War,' 'Tommy Gun,' 'Julie's Been Working for the Drug Squad') and 'Stay Free,' but the group loses some momentum toward the end of the record. Even with such flaws, Give 'Em Enough Rope ranks as one of the strongest albums of the punk era.
