MRML has discussed the fearsome power of The Ruts before and will certainly do so again - that's just how we roll. As part of that on-going dialogue, here's the COMPLETE Peel Sessions, the 18 track version (including the Ruts DC's 1981 session).
COMMENTS? YES, COMMENTS!
Speaking of that wonderful comments section, that is where you'll find the complete Peel Session link.
Support the band!

Thanks for this - Went to the Ruts film premier at Shepards Bush - amazing night
ReplyDeleteThanks for this,love the Ruts
ReplyDeletethank you !
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff - also very fond of Ruts DC who I saw a couple of times - once supporting The Who???? - and they blew them out of the water!
ReplyDeleteThank you! LOVE the Ruts!
ReplyDeleteFirst heard this band on the "Times Square" soundtrack. Went right down to Rose Records in Chicago to get a copy of the LP. Dave Ruffy is one of the most awesome drummers EVER.
ReplyDeleteMany 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:
