I met Foxy (Paul Fox) at the crown & treaty Uxbridge before he died of Cancer last year, What a Nice bloke & He’d still get up on stage giving it 100% though he knew his time was up!! The Ruts Sound is Awe-inspiring

Go for it.
Love a bit of Misty too.
I downloaded several LKJ albums the other day after hearing a bit of one round me mates. I’d forgotten all about him but his was probably the first reggae album I bought.

I have all the Misty 12″ / LP stuff on Peoples Unite, ditto the LKJ stuff on Virgin. May stick a few 12″ up in my next reggae post…yeah, fancy that! Maybe when I get back from work…

Excellent LKJ vid Nic.
I used to love seeing him. Slightly boring without the band but still well worth it.
And the Ruts? They had a very postive influence on me as a young, teen, music lover..

Malcolm tried to start a fight with me once for no good reason. Liked their music but the man was a twat.

Was always partial to some Ruts, remember buying “In A Rut” and it’s still one of my favourite tracks amongst many, from those times. Got it the day it came out after hearing it on John Peel’s show, had tried all the well known record shops in Romford, but they seemed to be avoiding anything vaguely punk related! Bizzarely I managed to get it from a little market stall, the guy on the stall was loving it too and stuck it on his deck, it was great to hear it blaring across the market! “West One” is an awesome track too. Sad and ironic what happened to Malcolm after tracks like “H-Eyes”.
