"Sightsee M.C.!" is one of the songs that put Mick Jones and Joe Strummer back in the same room. The former Clash bandmates wrote it together and produced it too, and it turns up on No. 10, Upping St., the second Big Audio Dynamite album, released in 1986, whose title puns on 10 Downing Street. Strummer's return lasted just that one record, on which he co-wrote five of the nine songs.
Jones's band fills in the rest: Dan Donovan on keyboards, Leo Williams on bass and Greg Roberts on drums, with those three and Don Letts all credited with vocals. Paul Smykle engineered, with a crew of assistants that included Alan Moulder and Mark "Spike" Stent.
