Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 469/500!

Limited 2019 edition of Clandestino, remastered for the first time. Includes two 180 gram, 12" black Vinyl and a blue 10" (in a dedicated printed inner sleeve) with three new songs: "Bloody Bloody Border", "Roadies Rules", and "Clandestino" featuring Calypso Rose (2019 version). Includes the remastered CD (tracklisting in the same order). Gatefold packaging. Vinyl mastering and lacquers cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering Studio.

The first solo album released by the former frontman of Mano Negra, Clandestino is an enchanting trip through Latin-flavored worldbeat rock, reliant on a potpourri of musical styles from traditional Latin and salsa to dub to rock 'n' roll to French pop to experimental rock to techno... Just about every track has odd sampled bits from what sound like pirate radio-station broadcasts (a possible link to the title). There are so many great ideas on this record that it's difficult to digest in one listen, but multiple plays reveal the great depth of Manu Chao's artistry.
