The Clash -- "If Music Could Talk"
Who exactly is responsible for this track?  The fingerprints of many people are on it, not all of them official members of The Clash.

Which is quite all right, really, given the expansiveness of the band's musical vision on Sandinista!  The sound of the album extends well beyond the band itself.  The particular sound of this track is not the most cutting-edge thing the band has ever reached for, but it fits with the animating spirit of this very ambitious album.
