The Clash - If Music Could Talk

If Music Could Talk is a 1980 interview album with The Clash - Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Topper Headon – in brief conversation with their trusted management rep/fixer/consigliere Kosmo Vinyl. Originally only available as a promotional LP for US-radio ahead of the release of The Clash’s 4th album Sandinista!, If Music Could Talk will be released for the first time as a limited edition double vinyl (180gm) package with new artwork for Record Store Day on 17th July 2021. The cover art is an homage to Nicaraguan rebel leader Augusto César Sandino – the original Sandinista – by artist Kosmo Vinyl who also supplies the liner notes on the back alongside a rare Pennie Smith band photo. If Music Could Talk comprises the band talking about and introducing tracks, and the 10 tracks themselves (using the latest band approved remasters.)
