On this day, December 12, 1980, The Clash released their ambitious triple album Sandinista! This groundbreaking fourth studio album showcased the band’s experimental side, blending punk with reggae, dub, funk, rock, and other genres to create a diverse and politically charged collection of 36 tracks.

While it peaked at #24 on the Billboard 200 and reached #3 in Canada, Sandinista! received mixed reviews at the time for its sprawling length. Over the years, however, it has gained recognition as a daring and innovative album that pushed the boundaries of punk music.
