The Clash: Combat Rock.
Awesome album! And iconic cover to match.
So the story goes, this photo was just taken as a snapshot while the members of The Clash were holidaying in Asia (Thailand, I think). And the holiday snap became the album cover.
I'm not sure - even if you tried to take a similar photo today in a similar setting - that the mix of: flippant pose, lost-in-his-own-thoughts, orthodox pose, distracted reaction, would come out the same. There's a lot more glossy/idealised self-representation in Selfie-World now. It would make for an interesting experiment...
