Sorry for the cock up! The extra tracks are actually the band's Peel Session.... I am disappointed too.... must pay more attention.
Upon sorting through a few hundred half labelled and unlabelled discs, I was very pleased to find this gem in a lossless format. It's an early outing of Ruts DC supporting The Skids at the Hammermith Odeon in the autumn of 1980. I had previously uploaded a version in mp3 format (5 songs) that can be found here. This version adds ' Mirror Smashed', 'Parasites', 'Fools' and another rendition of 'Different View'. And, like the lossy version, this is also of good sound quality.
I was making the assumption that this version represented the full set played on the night, my thinking being that the set may have ended with a rerun through 'Different View' which was/would be the new single. However, upon reading Garry Bushell's review again, mention is made of 'SUS', 'Staring At The Rude Boys', 'It Was Cold' and 'Savage Circle' having been played. Regardless, this would appear to be the fullest version in circulation and it is a great addition to the Ruts DC collection.

Man you got me excited! however the last four tracks are the 1981 Peel session. Please tell me this was a mistake and you do have extra live tracks.
ReplyDeleteOh Bollocks! You are correct... must pay more attention!
ReplyDeletethe Peel session was a very strange one ..Produced by Dale "Buffin" Griffin -he of Mott The Hoople fame-The usual,always amazing sounding,Maida Vale studios were being upgraded from 8 to 24 track facilities whic meant hat we were stuck in a 4 track near Langham Place - it was hard work-I was pretty stressed and said something like "FFS I could do better at home on my Teac" when I came back into the control room ..Mr Griffin had walked out and "gone home" I always hated this session and think the bad vibes show in the perfomance ...oh well ..that was a long time ago ....Segs
ReplyDeleteI really like that session! Horses for courses I guess….
