He said: "I feel all my life I have taken and now is the time to do something in return.
"I have played music on and off since I was a boy. In the last four years, I have built my own recording studio at home, in my garage.
"At first I had in mind to make an album of mainly my own music and that of a couple of bands I belonged to and played with.
"Since then I have realised that many other people, musicians and artists wanted to contribute too.
"It kept my mind off my treatment, and gave me something to do while I am off work."
The CD costs £5, with £1.50 for postage if ordered from Mr Jones.
The carpenter and joiner said: "As we all know cancer is a terrible disease which is now estimated to affect one in three people.
"Anyone, no matter how small their contribution – can make a difference, and the proceeds from this album will make a difference to these charities."
The album is available from Mr Jones by emailing mmvstudio.co. uk@live.com, or from the music stall in Green Park Station, The Bell Inn, or Reboot Computer Services at Walcot Street.
A launch event will be held on Saturday at New Oriel Hall in Larkhall, from 2pm until 4pm.
