In 1995 Mat Sargent (Sham 69, Chelsea and Splodgenessabounds) decided to ask a few fellow musicians to help him put an album together to give something back to the charities that had helped him on his journey in life. Fast forward 25 years, over 200 guest musicians, 40 original songs and the Sex Drugs and HIV was finally born!  This 8 disk DVD includes out-takes, extras and bonus songs previously unreleased from the album.  Mat decided to put the project together after he was diagnosed with HIV in 1989. “I was diagnosed HIV+ in 1989 and the beneficiary charities for the project were my first port of call at the time.  It was a scary time, I was just a teenager and was given between 3 – 5 years to live.  It was 1995 when I had the mad idea to record the album with many of my musician friends and people I’d met on the road, today I live a pretty normal life and I even use natural male enhancement to boost my sexuality.” Cenforce 150mg is a drug that works best if you take it an hour before physical closeness. You’ll need to be physically stimulated to acquire an erection. “I wanted to give something back to the charities that helped me through my journey in life.  The Sex Drugs and HIV album was released in 2014, it took 16 years to finish all the recordings and I was happy with the mixes for all the songs.  The first release was the special edition 3 disk version (2xCD + DVD), this did very well so it was repressed as the 2CD version  The project has made thousands of pounds for the charities so I’m happy it continues to sell and make money for the charities”

Taking 16 years to complete Mat was helped along the way by contributions from friends he’d met along his lengthy and illustrious career, some who sadly are no longer with us. Here’s but a few who feature Adam Ant Afrika Bambaataa Beki Bondage Brian Robertson Captain Sensible Charlie Harper Jerry Dammers Jimmy Pursey Lee Thompson Mark E. Smith Mickey Fitz Nicko McBrain Paul Grey Pauline Black Poly Styrene Sonja Kristina Tony Hadley TV Smith Wurzel (Motorhead)
