Long Live The Ruts...

[test28305]

I have to disagree.

There is a nice mix in there of reggae songs, just like JP used to do 
on his shows. It seems that most rock-oriented compilations ignore 
the reggae stuff, and THAT's a pity.

Besides, did you notice that the "usual suspects" don't play their 
best-known songs? 

Gabi.
