1985: Big Audio Dynamite drops “Medicine Show”
Mick Jones + Don Letts creating something completely unique. Ahead of its time then, still unmatched now.
If you needed proof that Big Audio Dynamite were (and are) untouchable ... Mick Jones and the crew detonate “E=MC²” live on Fallon during their 2011 reunion, underrated legends putting on a masterclass.
#OnThisDay on 5 September 1⃣9⃣8⃣9⃣ #BigAudioDynamite released their 4th & final studio album by the original line-up, "Megatop Phoenix" #MickJones & Bill Price produced the album. It was recorded at @TheKinks ' Konk Studios in Hornsey & reached #26 in the UK & #85 in the USA.
Gutted to hear about the passing of William Orbit, genius producer / visionary artist who has given us so much pleasure over the years with his various projects and productions. We were honoured to have a remix from him back in 97. a huge loss to the world of music. RIP his Ray of light shines on

#HappyBirthday to #MickJones lead guitarist, co-lead vocalist, co-founder and songwriter for @TheClash until 1983. In 1984, he formed @BigAudioDyn
@BigAudioDyn@dreadzonemusic I was there! And what a memorable night it was. Met Mike Dirnt walking to the show & walked a few blocks w/him. We passed Andy Samberg on the way & once inside stood behind Tina Weymouth & Chris Frantz for the glorious show.
Then topped it all off at after party w/MJ & Don Letts.
