In 2004, a 25th-anniversary "Legacy Edition" was released with a bonus CD and DVD in digipack packaging. The bonus CD features ''The Vanilla Tapes'', missing recordings made by the band in mid-1979.<ref>Gilbert, Pat. "The 'Vanilla Tapes'". ''London Calling: 25th Anniversary Legacy Edition'' (CD liner notes). September 2004.</ref> The DVD includes ''The Last Testament – The Making of London Calling'', a film by [[Don Letts]], as well as previously unseen video footage and music videos. A limited-edition [[picture disc]] LP was released in 2010.

The edition was met with widespread critical acclaim. At [[Metacritic]], which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from professional critics, it has an average score of 100 out of 100, based on 12 reviews. ''[[PopMatters]]'' hailed it as "easily one of the best classic re-releases yet", while ''[[Paste (magazine)|Paste]]'' said "Epic/Legacy has outdone itself." However, ''[[Blender (magazine)|Blender]]'' recommended consumers opt for the original edition instead, claiming "the demo versions ... sound like an incompetent Clash cover band rehearsing in a sock".<ref name=Metacritic/>
