About Sandinista!

Sandinista! is the fourth studio album by English punk rock band the Clash. It was released on 12 December 1980 as a triple album containing 36 tracks, with 6 songs on each side. Anticipating the world music trend of the 1980s, it features funk, reggae, jazz, gospel, rockabilly, folk, dub, rhythm and blues, calypso, disco, and rap. For the first time, the band's traditional songwriting credits of Strummer and Jones were replaced by a generic credit to the Clash, and the band agreed to a decrease in album royalties in order to release the 3-LP at a low price. The title refers to the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, and its catalogue number, 'FSLN1', refers to the abbreviation of the party's Spanish name, Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional. Sandinista! was voted best album of the year in the Pazz & Jop critics poll in The Village Voice. In 2012 was ranked number 407 on the Rolling Stone list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" whilst Slant Magazine listed the album at number 85 on its "Best Albums of the 1980s" list more »
