I’m sorry. Junkie Slip isn’t a great song, but it’s at least a song.
This.

I'd love to hear the thought process of anyone who doesn't vote for Mensforth Hill.
That would be me I voted Lose This Skin purely for the reason it doesn’t fit on the album and should have been on Tymons record.
It was released as a single. Tymon didn't release an abum the year of S!. He did release one in 1982 ''Battle Of Wills'' but I think the only Clash connection was Mickey Foote produced one track. Maybe ''Lose this Skin'' would have fitted slightly better on Ellen Foley's ''Spirit of St. Louis'' album.

Despite it’s eclectic mix LTS still stands out like dogs bollocks on Sandinista.

Nope didn’t say it was the dogs bollocks just said it stood out like them 😊
I’m not knocking the song just don’t think it should be on Sandinista.

That's why on my recent upload it isn't and it's a stand alone single. I like it a fair bit and when you've got a triple album in preparation it would've made perfect sense at the time to include it.

Lose This Skin is a beautiful track, easily the 2nd best on the side, very close to the best.
