STEVE JONES – FIRE AND GASOLINE [Rock Candy Remastered +1 bonus] 2019, MP3+FLAC

01/10/2023 rock aor HQ Leave a comment

As requested, here’s in full quality the Rock Candy Records ‘Remastered & Reloaded” versions of the two ’80s albums by STEVE JONES. Here’s the second, “Fire And Gasoline“, released in 1989 and according to times, sporting a polished hard rock production.

Founding member of British punk pioneers the Sex Pistols, when the band disintegr

This is the story of a very successful chart storming band, but it’s also the tale of a ban
