You're tasked with turning this bloated turd into a good single LP. Which 12 songs you keep?

I heard somewhere that the main guy in the clash said he made sandinista a triple album because some record studio person told him not to do another long album after london calling since that was a double album.

Their Colombia Records contract was very predatory, which included a 10 album deal. When they would fail to meet it (no one expected them to) Colombia would seize the rights to their back catalogue to cover the 'loss'. Turns out, double albums count as 2 albums, and the label was worried they would actually meet their contract obligations.

The album itself isn't some smart way to get around a shitty record deal, as none of the actual band (except Bernie, but his name wasn't on the contract so it's not his concern) knew anything about the deals they had signed. They were just being contrarian because some from the label told them they couldn't do more double albums.
