@@milquetoastmusic Sandinista suffers from too much filler, having said that, it's not only my favourite Clash album but my favourite all time album. But I can't help but ponder that if someone in the Clash camp had taken the bull by the horns in 1980 and trimmed the thing down to 4 sides and 24 stand out tracks, it would have attained and surpassed the masterpiece status afforded London Calling!
@@duncanlindsay6930 my thoughts exactly. It kind of feels like they just wanted to one up themselves after London Calling being a double album for the price of one so they stuck in a bunch of random demos/b-sides to make it a triple album. That being said I do love a majority of the songs on Sandinista but it’s just harder to listen through start to finish compared to their other albums

I still remember going to buy at The Record Peddler in Toronto and it had the “Not to be sold for more than $10.99” sticker on it. And I recall removing the shrink rap on the streetcar ride home and diving into the lyrics.

Me and one album on an island alone... definitely Sandinista. Many cultures and musical backgrounds . All in 3. I never ever get tired of listening to that album. Even after 29 years of listening it still amazes me. The punks did not like it when it came out ( not rough enough certainly). But it's a masterpiece...and l mean the whole album 💥💯
It’s like attending your own funeral. An out of body experience, ascending to heaven. The tragedy of death we all face, but transcending it. Losing this skin we are imprisoned in.
This album was so fcking expensive when it came out, but my dad loves the Clash so much he had to have it. I think back then it cost him a month's pay. Still have it to this day
I'm 53 & I always thought it was a bird singing this song only to find out recently that it was written & performed...by a GUY TYMON DOGG???? tell you something m8t you've got more of a girlie voice than Mick Jones..... keep up the good work Tymon.
I bought this album as a kid from one of those 10 for a penny clubs that enslaved people for years. I listened to it a few times and forgot about it... until just now.

The singer is Tymon Dogg who is a man. He played with Joe in the 101ers back in 1975 and 1976 right before the Clash formed. He also played with Joe the last few years that Joe was alive in the Mescaleros
"For the track “Lose This Skin” Joe Strummer called in Tymon Dogg, a chap who played violin and sang in Strummer’s pre-Clash pub group the 101ers. Dogg’s fiddle and distinctive vocal stylings immediately separate “Lose this Skin” from the rest of the Clash canon."
Looked on the net but there are no mention of any bagpipe player where the personnel is listed for that song. Around that time there was a band called Big Country who had a hit with a similar bagpipe sound, I looked at the personnel for that song and there are no bagpipe players listed as well. Could it be that in the end it's just guitars with effects we are hearing ? Just an hypothesis. Cheers.
Who's singing? Who plays the fiddle? I think it's a great album but not a Clash album. It's like they've 'curated' a lot of other stuff...like Mark Robson, Damon Albarn.

There is so many great songs on this album it's unheard of
Absolutely unique, scary and thrilling. What a song. What a group.
I rememer being young and and almost free. 1999 at the WTO protests in Seattle felt free. Otherwise it's just in the wilderess

Listening to my 3 LP Sandinista today. As fresh as when I first bought
it back in the 80s. Love the more obscure tunes like this one. Brilliant
The only band that matters

Once heard, never forgotten. The pure essence of London, my heart, my soul.

WHAT A SONG!!! gives me chills.
Every time for nearly 40 years
Absolutely great song~haven't heard in a long time. This was a great guest singer; can't remember his name

Technically the singing is pretty horrible. But who cares, right?
Les Clash, un des plus grands groupes anglais ! Rien à jeter, album exceptionnel..
Tellement vrai !
One of my favorite song of the Clash 👍
I was 14 when this album was released in Dec 1980...it was a special price as The Clash didn't want to rip off their fans;
I was 19.

Best album in history
Although a classic, Sandinista is still underrated

Amen brother I feel exactly the same!
Well sister suits me better 😉. But Amen definitely!
Nothing like this song ever,pure class.
I do like their second album though. And the first one. My faves.
Superb!
I have no clue why but this song makes my eyes watery.
For some reason this song makes me cry, as well but I don't know why.
Maybe because it's so good.

@@snosage Well said brother
Cheer up with some "Jocko Partner". Wink. "The Troubles".
Thanks The Clash! And thanks Tymon! 👍
Takes me back mann!!
It leaves me feeling some kinda way. They were, are, & will be unique & iconic.
Hauntingly Beautiful 🔥
Lose this Skin is my Fav Clash Song
Tymonn Dogg on violin and voice, an old dear friend of Joe
Tellement écouté cet album que les disques craquent... Cette chanson me fait pleurer à chaque fois.
Love this song!
I love this
Tymon Dogg - brilliant.
I did not think it was such a great song on first listen 😆
This one and Rebel's Waltz.. eerie and cooL. The Card Cheat from London Calling is a baddie too
amazing ❤
Esto suena demasiado bien!
This album was so fcking expensive when it came out, but my dad loves the Clash so much he had to have it.

Still have it to this day
It's worth staying alive for.

Me encanta esta Canción…

what?
As someone more clever than me said, if they don't play this at my funteral, I ain't going.
That is brilliant mate!
Totally - I actually made a mix tape to be played at my 'after party' - 1st track - you guessed it
I adore you for promoting this music.
I'd pick this one and Straight to Hell ;-)
Straight to Hell rocks.
Helps with understanding the exit ramp.
Come with me, I won't hide
We're going on a ride
We meet each day, use time to see
While we're young and almost free
I've got to lose this skin I'm imprisoned in (x2)
Do not turn or hate to see
All the things you think we've got
Do not turn or hate to see
What happened to the wife of Lot
I've got to lose this skin I'm imprisoned in (x2)
We're alone or so they say
We're not on our own in that way
When we're alone it's real tough going
We can take a part in someone else's play
Come with me, I thought he said
But that's not him anymore, he's dead
What's it like to be so free
So free it looks like lost to me

My mom: I hate fiddle
Me with this song: please allow me to introduce myself.
fiddles are cool
I play the fiddle as well as the guitar - the fiddle is much more comprehensive to master.....

I GOTTA BOOST THIS SKIN, IM IMPRISONED INNNNNNNN!
Uhm its lose this skin bro

sounds like Yoko
Go tell Aunt Rhody!
