Jones then formed Big Audio Dynamite with film director [[Don Letts]] (maker of 1978 film ''[[The Punk Rock Movie]]'', various Clash [[music video]]s, and later the Clash documentary ''[[The Clash: Westway to the World|Westway to the World]]'' in 2000), bassist Leo Williams (from T.R.A.C.), drummer [[Greg Roberts (musician)|Greg Roberts]], and keyboardist [[Dan Donovan (keyboardist)|Dan Donovan]]. In November 1985 the band's debut studio album, ''[[This Is Big Audio Dynamite]]'', was released. The album's cover shows the band as a four-piece, minus Donovan who took and designed the photograph.

1986's ''[[No. 10, Upping St.]]'' reunited Jones for one last album with former Clash lyricist and lead vocalist [[Joe Strummer]], who was credited with co-producing the album and co-writing five of its nine tracks. BAD supported Irish rock band [[U2]] on their [[The Joshua Tree Tour|Joshua Tree Tour]] on certain dates, then released 1988's ''[[Tighten Up Vol. 88]]'' and 1989's ''[[Megatop Phoenix]]''. ''[[Tighten Up, Vol. 88]]'' contained "[[Just Play Music!]]", which was the second No.&nbsp;1 single on ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]''{{'}}s [[Alternative Songs|Modern Rock Tracks]] chart.

In 1990, the original line-up wrote and recorded the song "Free" for the soundtrack to the adventure comedy film ''[[Flashback (1990 film)|Flashback]]'', starring [[Dennis Hopper]] and [[Kiefer Sutherland]]. This would be the final song written with the original line-up, as the band would break-up shortly after. "[[The Bottom Line (Big Audio Dynamite song)|The Bottom Line]]" from the band's first album was remixed and used as the title track for ''Flashback'' (1990). However, this track was not included on the film's official soundtrack. It can be found on the 12" or by download. Later in 1990, Jones debuted Big Audio Dynamite II and released the UK only studio album ''[[Kool-Aid (album)|Kool-Aid]]''. Keyboardist Dan Donovan remained in BAD II for one song, a re-working of the final BAD track "Free" renamed "Kickin' In".
