Product Description
This Is Big Audio Dynamite - 25th Anniversary Legacy Edition.

Originally released in 1985, 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....

I like this album but it isn't something I would have ever imagined getting the special edition treatment. This could be interesting if they've unearthed some unreleased tracks.

I'd bet the bonus disc will be mostly 12" remixes. They had lots of 12" singles.

Man, I LOVE this album.

Bump: this has been pushed back to April 27th.


How many remains to be seen, but Sony's latest solicitation says that the Legacy Edition will include "unreleased tracks, B-sides and 12-inch mixes".

I had removed this from my shopping list when it failed to materialize over the past couple of months. Now I can add it again.

Speaking of BAD remixes and b-sides, Sony in Australia issued a 2-CD set titled The Lost Treasure of Big Audio Dynamite I & II way back in 1993. This collection is now OOP and the asking price is fairly high at AmazWAN.

Love BAD and this one hopefully has some fun extra mixes on it. Wish I'd been able to see this band live.

Is the def jam version of "Bottom Line" the only complete version? KROQ played a version when the album came out...

Bump: added tracklisting to the first post.

Whooo-Hooooo! Get three coffins ready.

wow...has this took forever to get released or what?
