Update:
Many thanks indeed, Jeffen, for this - I hadn't got the Ruts DC Peel session, so much appreciated! For your information, the CD doesn't include all of the Ruts' Peel sessions - those liking the Ruts' reggae grooves will want to get ska grandfather Laurel Aitken's Peel session, recorded with the Ruts as his backing band on 28th April 1980, two months after the Ruts' last Peel session (11/02/1980), and three months before Malcolm Owen's tragic death. Go get it here, thanks to the great mondo-de-muebles:

Brilliant post Jeffen, The Ruts were superb live and if it was'nt for Malcolm R.I.P.passing who knows,punk was invented for them thanx mate
ReplyDeleteI've loved this when published,and it's still going strong(i tested it after reading your post)really better than that old Harry May tiny comp...
ReplyDeleteFantastic.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to hearing these tracks.
Love The Ruts
Thanks for sharing
the ruts truly were a fantastic band,something that i said was such a great song for releasing tension.And as someone else has said if malcolm hadnt died they would have been massive....ok ,kick him in the head,just called something that i said
ReplyDeleteSome good stuff here-thanks,and cheers to Dave Sez as always - i'll grab this real soon..preoccupied somewhere else tonight!
ReplyDeleteAnyone here ever hear of "The Fluffy Kittens"? Nothing to write home about,don't get me wrong,but I went to see them in Brighton,in the early 1990s, cos Paul Fox was their guitar player-really good-natured,enjoyable gig,with some trademark playing from the great man (and a fantastic "In a Rut" as an encore).Cheers again :)
Hi,
ReplyDeletei´ve got some more rare stuff of the ruts/ruts dc to share. i just can´t find jeffens emailadress...
and i could offer a single of the dirty strangers, a hardrock band paul fox was playing in.
does anyone know if some more livevideos of the ruts exist? i only know those few youtube vids.
sOunds exciting! Maybe you could upload to Megaupload or something and leave us a link in comments..although of course it would be much better as a separate post on the blog..what d'you think,jeffen?
