"V. Thirteen" comes off No. 10, Upping St., Big Audio Dynamite's second album, from 1986, and it has Joe Strummer's fingerprints all over it: the former Clash lyricist and lead singer co-wrote it with Mick Jones, one of five songs the two wrote together for the record, and co-produced it with him as well. Paul Smykle engineered, with Alan Moulder and Mark "Spike" Stent among the assistants.
CBS sent it out on seven-inch and 12-inch as the album's second single, after "C'mon Every Beatbox" had sold disappointingly, and it did a little better, reaching number 49 in the UK and 15 on Billboard's dance club chart.
