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.
Industry Reviews
Included in AP's 10 Essential Political-Revolution Albums
Alternative Press (11/01/2000)
4 stars out of 5 - ...an exceptionally high strike-rate....there was real quality...
Q (12/01/1999)
4 out of 5 - ...This is the Clash set that will still likely enchant into tomorrow for its foolhardy attempts at awe-inspiring successes....a manageable listen...
Alternative Press (03/01/2000)
Ranked #2 in CMJ's Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1981.
CMJ (01/05/2004)
[T]ackling dub, gospel and surf rock with the same fervor with which the Clash had already mastered punk, reggae and rockabilly.
