Description:
Sandinista!, recorded by The Clash in 1980, was one of the most ambitious records in the history of rock `n` roll. According to one of its biggest fans, author and journalist Jimmy Guterman, "It wasn`t necessarily their best record, their best-selling record, or even their most enjoyable record, but it`s an exciting, sprawling mess that I return to constantly." Guterman liked it so much, in fact, that he took it upon himself to amass a tribute as ambitious as the album itself 36 tracks by nearly as many different artists. 00:02:59 - a label named after a lyric from the Sandinista! song "Hitsville U.K." - has released The Sandinista! Project as a two-CD set, with profits split between two charities - Amnesty International (heartily supported by The Clash) and the Joe Strummer Memorial Forest, which is a division of Future Forests, an organization fighting global warming.
