We continue our commemoration of this week’s 25th anniversary reissue of the groundbreaking This Is Big Audio Dynamite with this seven-minute electronic press kit assembled by bandmember Don Letts that the folks at Columbia/Legacy sent out to the media on Wednesday.
The video features a mid-’80s interview with Letts and Mick Jones in which they discuss the origin and philosophy of Big Audio Dynamite, mixed in with music videos, concert footage (including a brief shot of B.A.D.’s live debut in October 1984) and other clips.
For more details on the 2CD deluxe edition of the album, go here. And to read our recent interview with B.A.D. drummer Greg Roberts, go here.
