Mick Jones and Bill Price produced the album. It was recorded at the Kinks' Konk Studios in Hornsey, London, who were considered an inspiration in the album's liner notes. Megatop Phoenix was the last album to be released under the name of Big Audio Dynamite for six years (until 1995's F-Punk). A year after this album's release Mick Jones formed Big Audio Dynamite II with totally different members. The phoenix in the title is a reference to a near-death experience of Jones, who had developed chickenpox and pneumonia, and spent several months in hospital prior to recording this album.[3][4]The album reached #26 on the UK album chart and #85 on the Billboard 200 albums in the USA.

The fault is seldom with Jones' songwriting but more with the slick sheen laid over the leaner, less aggressive beats. The LP yielded "Just Play Music" and "Other 99," but a pall was thrown on the release as Jones fell deathly ill shortly after its appearance; having contracted pneumonia, he was hospitalized for months.}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18484452 |title=Punk Legends Form Rock Band Carbon/Silicon |publisher=National Public Radio: Music |accessdate=29 January 2008}} External links
