As promised here's some old Ruts material, albeit, the Ruts incognito. Backing the Godfather of Ska, the Ruts here are palying out and out ska beats (with the accasional shout from Malcolm!).
Pick of the crop for me here (perhaps with more than a little bias*) is 'Rudi Got Married' which, should my son get married, will make the reception play list for sure.
* his name is Rudi

ReplyDeleteI have been trying to get this recording ever since I first heard it as an avid John Peel fan (can it be 32 years ago???).
Rock solid base line, a little echo (just enough)and Laurel Aitken sounding better than ever...who could ask for more?
Thank you times a million, I am forever in your debt.
