The Clash - The Clash (self-titled UK Release)
Released April 8, 1977

not a huge edit on this one, and I'm really not sure if I like how it turned out.
I cleaned up the edges, and adjusted the saturation of the colors a bit, making it a bit more vibrant.
I think the front turned out okay, but some of the colors on the back seem a bit un-even.
Still, I suppose it's good enough for a release on here.

The Clash - Bankrobber (single)
Released August 8, 1980

Lots of nicks & scratches on this one, but I ended up getting through it, and a contrast adjust on the black section also helped smooth it out.

Not a big fix on this one, just a few nicks & smudges, and a slight contrast adjustment.

The Clash - Black Market Clash
Released October 1980.

Got another Clash cover here, I basically cleaned up some speckles & smudging on this one using the clone stamp.  I then adjusted the hue & saturation a bit, along with the brightness & the contrast until I got it to match the lower resolution image on Wikipedia.  Even though the Wikipedia article didn't have a white border on that image, I gave it one, in order to match the various vinyl covers I saw many photos of.

The Clash - White Riot (Single)
Released March 18,1977

I couldn't find a back cover for this one, but I found a really good scan of the front... the only problem were the colors.  Thankfully, most of the cover is in black & white.  I started out by selecting a color range on the red title (that was originally more of a magenta) and I made sure the fuzziness was all the way down, this way it would select the entire thing.  (since the rest of the album was black & white, it would make a nice clear line this way)  I adjusted the hue to make it red with a bit of orange tint, since that's what I saw in a smaller image of the cover on Wikipedia.  I selected the inverse of the text and de-saturated it, and from there I just had to play with the brightness & contrast in order to get the correct tone.
