China Street - Rock Against Racism 7'' (1978)

The second single from China Street. Much different than the first as,as previously mentioned,this is a Reggae single rather than a Punk one. I quite like it but in my opinion,this lot were not exactly a Clash or a Ruts or even a Members or SLF on the Reggae front. This is more of a "poor mans" Offshore Banking Business to me even though I like it. Still, I've heard alot worse and I'm sure some of you will like it. And if you don't? Well I couldn't care less : - )

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.
