Long Live The Ruts...

About the track-listing....
Lots of the predictable, "usual suspects" which have been on
previous similar compilations - a pity.
Good to see the Wild Swans in there - that's a brilliant song.
Pity no Magazine song.....
"The Sweetest Girl" - first heard it in 1981 on Peel, was on
an NME cassette - beautiful song.
