China Street - You're A Ruin 7'' (1978)


I remember buying this when it came out from our local Virgin Records shop. I took it home and played it and was very disappointed so I promptly swapped it. I found it again years later,played it again and thought it was just as bad. I played it today and quite liked it so I'm posting it. This was on the Criminal Record label. Later in 1978 the band signed to EMI and made another single entitled Rock Against Racism which was a Reggae number then disappeared into obscurity. I will post that if anyone wants it (and I'll probably post it if nobody does)


Tracks


1) You're A Ruin
2) (I Wanna Be) Your M.P.

Saw it, did hear it, didn't buy it. Now I'm listen to it, not bad but wouldn't buy it, but fun to have heard it again.

It's still Christmas time..... :-D

Best wishes from Sweden
