The Ruts - Shine On Me: The Singles Collection 1979/1980 (Translucent 'Emergency' Red Vinyl)
Description
This pioneering English punk band from London - active in their original line up from 1977 to 1980 - were known for an explosive blend of punk and reggae influences, strident anti-racism stance, energetic live shows and a run of classics that included ‘Babylon’s Burning’, ‘Staring At The Rude Boys’, and ‘Something That I Said’.
Following the untimely death of their charismatic lead singer Malcolm Owen, aged just 23, in the summer of 1980, they released what’s considered to be their masterpiece single from which this collection takes its name – the heroic ‘West One (Shine On Me)’.
‘Shine On Me’ celebrates the band’s visceral legacy via a chronological journey through all the singles released featuring Malcolm Owen – from their self-produced 1979 debut ‘In A Rut’ to the posthumous ‘West One’. It’s the first complete of Ruts classics on vinyl and it also includes the original releases’ blistering B-sides, many of which could have been A’s in their own right.
