Big Audio Dynamite: Tighten Up, Vol. 88 (1988)


The third BAD album cover features a painting by Paul Simonon, another former Clash band-mate. Of course, this leads me to reflect on all of those artists who are multi-talented. For example, Leonard Cohen also paints, Lou Reed was a photographer, Keanu Reeves has a band, etc. The list goes on. Incidentally, I have a compact disc copy of Paul Simonon's later project, The Good, The Bad, and the Queen, which is either the band name, the album title, or possibly both. It's unclear.

In any case, while possibly less successful than the previous two releases, this one is pretty good. By the way. all of the white pants and shorts in various BAD videos remind me that I used to own a pair of white jeans. There is no photographic evidence to support that statement.
