Free Music Notes for Sandinista!

Free Music Review: Beyond the Borders of Punk
Hit: 4 Stars

After an enthralling introduction to the Clash via their first album (albeit the U.S. version), I hooked onto this band. They currently reside in the top spot on most of my High Fidelity-esque lists of "bests," and I consider them my favorite band ever. Even as a die-hard fan, Sandanista! perplexed me. I heard such mixed reviews from band members, critics, and other fans, and I skeptically put it in my player. I had heard tracks like "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Call Up" before, since they frequently made it on "best ofs" and the singles CD, but I virtually knew none of the others. I decided that, since I did not (and still do not) like "Hitsville U.K.," I would move on to the second disc first. I pressed play and experienced pure, exciting rock'n'roll in "Police on My Back." It continued with "Midnight Log," and each track contained nuggets of sheer magic. I'm still not finished listening. I listen in bits and pieces, slowly hooking on to a song and playing it to death until I've fully assimilated it into my system. Some favorite of mine include "Charlie Don't Surf" (The Clash's attempt at quasi-surf music), "The Equaliser," "Junkie Slip," "Up in Heaven (Not Only Here)," and "The Leader," just to name a few. This album rewards. Sit through the whole thing a few times (not just once), then make a decision. Ultimately, this experimental album pushes the borders of punk and redefines the Clash's view of music. It exemplifies all the reasons I love the Clash: their experimentation, their music, melodies, and messages. They stretch their musical muscles and we gain a new perspective on punk, life, and ourselves.

Sandinista! Poster

What the hell is this? Though the two-record sprawl of London Calling--with its exploratory mutations of reggae, rockabilly, and even disco--proved that the Clash weren't content to lie fallow in a punk-rock ghetto, nothing prepares you for Sandinista's messy melange. For 36 tracks (the Clash originally released this as a three-record set for not much more than the price of one), the band tackles everything in sight, including waltz, gospel, disco, children's ditties, funk, reggae, dub, delicate instrumentals, psychedelic explorations--hell, they even play a Clash rocker or two. Though many have said there is a single great album hidden among the three here, it's the pure chutzpah of Sandinista that makes it such a particular pleasure and a brain drain at the same time. It's the document of a band that can do anything and tries to do everything. It's the glorious sound of failure. And if that ain't the Clash, what is? --Tod Nelson
Digitally remastered from the original production master tapes, this a reissue of the 1980 & fourth album by 'the only band that matters'. Features the original artwork and all 36 of the original tracks, including 'The Call Up', 'Somebody Got Murdered', 'Police On My Back', 'The Magnificent Seven' and 'Hitsville U.K.'. 'Sandinista!' broke the top 30 in the U.S. at the time. Also includes a miniaturized reproduction of the faux neswpaper/ lyric sheet 'The Armagideon Times No.3'. Double slimline jewel case. 1999 release.
