It should be pointed Lydon and PiL are competing to represent Ireland in Eurovision, not on the big stage yet… they have to vanquish other artists and songs first…

agreed, new to me and after grooving to it, did a little homework and quite an impressive history

The song is reported to have inspired Nelson Mandela with hope during his imprisonment: Ibrahim recalled in a May 2012 interview for Voice of America's JazzBeat that the record was smuggled by a lawyer into Robben Island, where music was banned, and played in the control room over the loudspeakers, and that on hearing the song Mandela said: "Liberation is near."

that is pretty punk rock smuggling a vinyl record into prison!

Its not entirely dissimilar to the plot of Shawshank Redemption.

I could see *maybe* getting a 45 in there, but an LP in the sphincter, that's some world record shit

Bootleg pressing but sounds better than almost all Ween vinyl. Spread out over two slabs of vinyl which helps. Might be the best bootleg pressing of an actual album that I have heard.

As far as the album, I can’t believe a major label , Elektra, put this out in 1992.

From the 5 LP Cuban jam sessions box set reissue that came out a few years ago. NYC salsa in the 1960s and early 1970s built on this and IMHO far eclipsed it but these are essential.
