UK EARLY/FIRST PRESSING TRIPLE VINYL LP WITH LYRIC INNER AND ORIGINAL WHITE INNER SLEEVES AND STICKER ON FRONT. Of all the original pressings we have seen of this album, all sides seem to have a mix-match of matrix numbers, we have never seen straight run of 1s on any of them. We suspect that so many were pressed prior to release that matrix/mothers/stampers were used as and when just to create the pressing run. First issues included a printed insert with the catalog number FSLN 1, titled "The Armagideon Times No. 3" and featuring lyrics, credits and cartoons by Steve Bell. D7 'Blowing In The Guns Of Brixton' Vocals – Maria Gallagher: is listed on The Armagideon Times no3 insert included with album, but not on the label or rear sleeve.

One of the great ironies of punk (the other being Johnny Rotten later appearing on butter adverts) is The Clash's TRIPLE ALBUM - yep - everything about the ethos of the three minute single tossed out of the window in one go when the kings of punk joined the likes of their 'enemies' - only Yes and Emerson, Lake and Palmer made triple albums and they were reviled for it. But, inside every double and triple album is usually a really great single album waiting to get out, and that holds true for Sandinista! - there are enough gems spread across six sides to make up for the dross.

MATRIX NUMBERS IN RUN-OFF GROOVES: FSLN 1 A5 / Timtom FSLN-1 B2 / FSLN 1 C6 / FSLN-1 D4 / FSLN-1-E1 [CBS S 66363 crossed out] E1 / Timtom FSLN-1-F4

SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+, JUST LIGHT SHELF AND EDGE WEAR. INSERT AND INNERS ARE EXCELLENT.

DISCS: EXCELLENT, CLOSER TO MINT REALLY BUT WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN THIS ALBUM HAS NEVER FULLY BEEN PLAYED. WE PLAY-CHECKED A FEW TRACKS AND IT SOUNDS AWESOME, SUPER-CLEAN VINYL WITH NO MARKS OR SCRATCHES AND NO NOTICEABLE SPINDLE WEAR. You will not need to upgrade this title again.
