Reviews & Opinions
STEVE SPINALI, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #23, MARCH 1985: This limited edition bootleg (200 copies) showcases the live performing talents of this early English punk band through a variety of vintage performances. The sound quality ranges from poor to pretty good, but only about one-third of this album captures the excitement of this band. I suppose one's desire to find this disc depends on how much of a RUTS fan you really are . . .Additional Notes
Bootleg. Only 200 pressed. Blue vinyl.
