SANDINISTA! was the Clash's affirmation of their support for the Nicaraguan revolution, the movement that overthrew President Somoza and aroused the ire of U.S. President Reagan. The music was a more conscious exploration of reggae and dub music than the Clash had ever attempted. The group fought their record company to keep the 3-LP set affordable to their fans, accepting lower royalty rates so the price would be as low as a single LP.

warts and all its not one of the better clash albums, i even think combat rock is a better album. this album sounds like a band who just wants to have fun and try anytype of music and why not after they made the greatest 2 punk and rock albums ever, london calling and the clash. they are the only band that ever mattered.

The Clash - "Sandinista!" And you thought The Clash was Punk. Listen again. This 3-album 1980 follow-up to their 1979 ground-breaking "London Calling" double-LP shows the depth, range, vast multi-cutural influences and writing styles of The Clash. The 36 tracks contained within "Sandinista!" illustrate further document the influences upon The Clash, and why - 25 years later - thier fan base continues to grow.
If you liked ANY of The CLash's earlier albums, you'll like this one - too. Submitted by aardvark2 (Tidewater, Virginia, VA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
The very best Clash album!!! Although London Calling was a masterpiece Sandinista without a doubt is the ultimate Clash album. The people that downplay it have never really absorbed it as I have. I have it on vinyl from way back, I went throught it twice on cassettes and 3 times on CD. It is my all time favorite album! Submitted by REDCalifornia (Orange, CA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
