THE CLASH

~ SANDINISTA ~

(1980 CBS RECORDS – RARE UK TRIPLE ALBUM )

ON OFFER HERE IS A RARE ORIGINAL UK VINYL PRESSING OF THE SUPERB TRIPLE ALBUM “SANDINISTA” BY THE CLASH ON THE CBS LABEL.

THIS WAS THE CLASH’S FOURTH STUDIO OUTING AND IT CONFUSED THE HELL OUT OF THE PRESS ON IT’S RELEASE – SOME LOVED IT AND OTHERS LOATHED IT. IT HAS NOW BEEN GENERALLY REAPPRAISED AND STANDS UP AS A FINE BODY OF WORK BY ONE OF BRITAIN’S MOST IMPORTANT BANDS OF ALL TIME.

PHIL JUPPITUS RECENTLY DESCRIBED THIS TRIPLE ALBUM AS HIS FAVOURITE LP OF ALL TIME – HATS OFF TO YOU PHIL – I COULDN’T AGREE MORE. THERE IS SO MUCH HERE – IT’S LIKE A JOURNEY – DIFFERENT INFLUENCES STYLES – ALL AMAZING. LISTEN AND WONDER AT JUST HOW FAR AHEAD OF THEIR TIME THE CLASH WERE ON EARLY PROTOTYPE HIP HOP AND WHITE REGGAE.
