On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

On the Right T.R.A.C.





After parting ways with the Clash in 1983, Mick Jones briefly played with the band General Public. In 1984 Mick formed a new band called Top Risk Action Company (T.R.A.C.). He recruited bassist Leo 'E-Zee Kill' Williams, saxophone player John 'Boy' Lennard (from Theatre of Hate), & former bandmate & ex-Clash drummer Nicky 'Topper' Headon. Headon was quickly sacked (as from The Clash) for his heroin addiction. Lennard soon after moved on to other projects & T.R.A.C. folded. The band was basically a prototype for Big Audio Dynamite (see "The Bottom Line"). Although T.R.A.C never released any material, they recorded these demos.
