The Sandinista! "Project" - Final Cut

Posted at 2:57 PM on September 7, 2007 by Mac Wilson (2 Comments)

Over the course of the project, I've come to realize that there are entire portions of the album that really only work in the context of the stuff around it. This isn't necessarily an ideal version of Sandinista!, merely a concise best-of. I haven't checked to see if the side lengths add up to less than 25 minutes a piece; I guess you'll just have to take my word.

"The Call Up"
"Hitsville U.K."
"Kingston Advice"
"Lose This Skin"
"The Magnificent Seven"
"One More Time"
"Police on My Back"
"Somebody Got Murdered"
"Something About England"
"The Sound of the Sinners"
"The Street Parade"
"Up in Heaven (Not Only Here)"
"Washington Bullets" (with the "Silicone on Sapphire" instrumental track)

The running order is up to you. My only requirement is that "Lose This Skin" be placed at the end of Side 2 and be an unlisted bonus track a la "Train in Vain". This has been a fun venture and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did putting it together!

Mac, hands down this was terrific. You've got my gears turning, trying to figure placement (not to mention trying to figure if I could give excellent reasoning for doing this differently...uh... Nope.) and hoping to see some arranging here.

p.s. Ideal is in the ear of the beholder.

Comes out to 52:47 total, so you got it. Nice work, Mac.
