Digitally remastered and expanded two CD Legacy edition of the 1985 debut album from Big Audio Dynamite. This Is Big Audio Dynamite is a groundbreaking and highly influential album which perfectly blends New York beats, Jamaican bass lines, ear-bending cinematic samples, and British guitar rock. Before the Rap-meets-Rock cultural paradigm, before the meshing of musical genres became the norm, there was Big Audio Dynamite, led by ex-Clash guitarist/vocalist Mick Jones. This landmark album now includes a second disc of 12 bonus tracks comprising rare U.S. and UK 12-inch remixes, edits, Dub versions, outtakes, and B-sides, five of them previously unreleased.
