Big Audio Dynamite: No. 10 Upping St. (1986)


It's really bizarre that Joe Strummer produced this album (and co-wrote some of the songs) after he had turfed Mick Jones from The Clash. But, then again, John Cale worked with the Velvet Underground a few times after being kicked out of the band by Lou Reed, so I guess it's not as unusual as it sounds.

I think that No. 10 Upping Street is not as good as first album, but I do like it. Big Audio Dynamite were the best non-Clash Clash band around, and it was clear that The Clash were dead, permanently.
