This is recording of The Ruts' 40 minutes supporting act to The Stranglers' gig at Lincoln Engine Shed, on March 7th 2017. Splendid mix of good oldies and brand new material from the latest "Music Must Destroy" album, available at Aural Sculptors blog. All credits & thnx to Adrian Andrews (blog) and Andy Miller (You Tube videos).
This is a 74 track set featuring pretty much all the band recorded
during their time with Virgin Records. Includes the hit singles
"Babylon's Burning" (#7), "Something That I Said" (#29), "Staring At The
Rude Boys" (#22) and "West One (Sine On Me)" (#43).
Disc 1 has the #16
charting debut LP The Crack bolstered by six non LP bonus tracks.
Disc 2
features the Top 30 Grin + Bear Itodds'n'sods LP which now comes with
two bonus tracks plus previously unreleased BBC Radio 1 Kid Jensen
session that is something of a "Holy Grail" amongst Punk collectors.
Disc 3 comes with three John Peel sessions plus a lively nine track
BBC In Concert show from 1979.
Disc 4 is a warts'n'all show
from The Marquee in July 1979, never before officially released and
capturing the band at their "in yer face" confrontational best.
Packaged
in a clam shell box with a 20 page booklet featuring detailed liner
notes by Roland Link who has just published the bands biography "Love In
Vain".
