B.A.D. - No. 10, Upping St. (Vinyl LP | EU Original | 1986)

B.A.D. – No. 10, Upping St. is the second album by Big Audio Dynamite, the band led by former Clash guitarist Mick Jones. It was released on October 27, 1986 on CBS and recorded at Trident Studios in London. Mick Jones produced it together with Joe Strummer, who reunited with Jones here for the first time since the end of The Clash and co-wrote five of the songs. Rock, dub, hip-hop beats and film-dialogue samples run into one another; the title is a pun on 10 Downing Street, the British prime minister's residence. This copy is the 1986 European original pressing (CBS 450137 1) with original inner sleeve.
