"Rock Non Stop (All Night Long)" comes off Tighten Up Vol. 88, the third album from Big Audio Dynamite, which Columbia released in June 1988. Dan Donovan, Mick Jones and Don Letts wrote it, and the vocals get passed around the room, with Donovan, Letts, Greg Roberts and Leo Williams all taking a turn at the mic. Jones plays guitar and produced it, Donovan handles keyboards, Williams the bass and Roberts the drums, with Paul Smykle engineering.
The album took its name from Trojan Records' Tighten Up compilations, and it kept things in the family: Paul Simonon, the Clash's former bassist and Jones's old bandmate there, designed the cover, and Donovan shot the back cover photo with Josh Cheuse.
