Clash on Broadway is a box set compilation album by the punk rock band The Clash, released on Legacy Records in 1991, catalogue E3K 63521. It comprises 64 tracks on three compact discs, spanning the time period from their very first single "White Riot" in 1977 through the Combat Rock album of 1982. It does not include material from the band's coda led by Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon, resulting in the final album Cut the Crap. It was initially released in longbox form.

Content

The set contains five previously unreleased tracks, two early demo recordings, and three live recordings, one of which had been released on a film soundtrack. Fourteen of the seventeen singles released in the United Kingdom during the time frame covered appear, leaving out "Remote Control" released as a single against the band's wishes, "English Civil War" which appears in a live version, and "Know Your Rights".

Disc one contains mostly recordings taken from their early singles including the extended play single Capital Radio, and the debut album. The four songs deleted from the British version of The Clash album and replaced by singles tracks for the American version, "Deny", "Protex Blue", "Cheat", and "48 Hours", are included. Disc two concentrates on tracks from the albums Give 'Em Enough Rope and London Calling, and the extended play single Cost of Living. Disc three contains tracks from Sandinista! and Combat Rock, tracks from the latter including both edited and unedited versions.
