The Singles is a compilation album by The Clash. It includes all their singles, in their single version, except for 1977's Capital Radio (which, whilst not eligible for chart entry is still considered a single) as well as 1985's "This Is England" due to the Cut the Crap album being disowned by the band at that time.

This collection contains the actual A-side recording of the "This Is Radio Clash" single. Some other compilations such as The Essential Clash and the remastered version of Super Black Market Clash contain the B-side "Radio Clash" under the title "This Is Radio Clash" instead.

A remastered version, (495353 2) with slightly altered artwork, was released in 1999 as part of Sony's Clash reissue campaign.
