THE RUTS
THE PUNK SINGLES COLLECTION
(Captain Oi)
UK reggae punks 45 revolutions.
4/5
With the death of lead singer Malcolm Owen in July 1980, the short but meteoric rise of UK punks The Ruts was cut short. This singles 'best of' pulls together all their chart 45s like the mighty 'Babylon's Burning' and 'Something That I Said' plus debut 'In A Rut', 'Staring At The Rude Boys', 'Jah War' and 'West One'. Together with B-sides and the Captain's usual informative sleeve notes, it's a perfect introduction to one of the UK's finest and most underrated '70s punk acts.
