(Yahoo) Former members of The Clash, Mick Jones and Nicky "Topper" Headon, have recorded together for the first time in almost 30 years by reworking a version of the punk rock band's 1978 song "Jail Guitar Doors."

The pair teamed up with folk activist Billy Bragg in the studio to promote the singer's campaign to help rehabilitate prison inmates.

Bragg's Jail Guitar Doors initiative, named after the song, supplies musical instruments to prisoners.

"The guys were telling us how much this scheme had helped them move on from their previous lives before prison," Jones said in a statement. - more on this story
