Big Audio Dynamite - Will There Be A Box Set Release, Reissues, or A New Album?
Love Big Audio Dynamite. Wondering if there will be any box set releases or reissues? Maybe one more new album?
The horses are on the track!
I don’t think so, there was supposed to be an Upping Street deluxe edition after the This Is BAD one but it didn’t come out. To be honest I don’t think Mick is too bothered about that kind of thing.
I wish there was though, I love BAD and there’s a ton of great remixes and b-sides only on vinyl that I’d like remastered and collected together on CD
I dont think there’s demand
I doubt it, Mick doesn't really seem interested anymore. He's essentially retired.
Not even a Carbon/Silicon follow up. Too bad. That was a fun project.
I’ve been working on a covers/reimagining of No. 10 Upping St with Escape Hatch Records. Don Letts is involved as well as a whole bunch of amazing reggae/dub musicians who have recreated the entire album from the ground up. It’s getting released on vinyl as a double album. Disc 1 is the original album, and disc 2 is dub versions of all the songs. I’d highly recommend following Escape Hatch on Instagram if you’re interested! Coming out later this year.
Wow!!! Huge news. Can't wait for this. No. 10 Upper Street is an album that fascinates me as Joe Strummer was involved with it so it was sort of a Clash album.
I've seen online that Joe and Mick wrote a batch of songs prior to Joe's passing. Wonder if anyone would consider recording those songs as a tribute album?
That would be so cool! I’ve never heard about this!
There are articles about it online. Joe and Mick wrote the songs and Joe told Mick that it would be the next Clash album. And then ... sadly he died so that never happened. Do you have a way to contact Mick? How great would it be for musicians to gather together and record those songs? I know that Pearl Jam, Springsteen, and so many others would be willing to record a song for the project.
Check this website: Sharoma.com. Tons of live Clash and under the tab Baddendum is a shitload of BAD. Mostly studio but a live show too. I think you’ll be busy listening for a while 👍🏼
Definitely.
