Format:Audio CD
I initially bought this mid price CD for a blast of nostalgia; Juke Box Drive, Little Darling and the wonderful Baby I Know. What I was not expecting were some truly outstanding self-penned songs. Apart from Baby I Know, there's Kid Runaway and the magnificent Beggarman. The CD is worth buying for Beggarman alone. The Rubettes are from an era of harmonies, musicianship and great arrangements. This is a good pop CD with some solid gold nuggets.

The fact is the Rubettes singles were made by session musicians.
That's because the group who became the Rubettes really WERE in their previous life.
It started when they backed a singer called Paul da Vinci who was on the Penny Fathing label-he's the one with the high voice and is on the first 2 Rubettes singles.
When the single began to move a group called the Rubettes had to be assembled and he didn't want to be involved as he had a 9 to 5 job as a session singer.
The ones chosen to be the Rubettes came from a pool of session men and its why the Rubettes were superior to any of these other so called Glam Rockers.
Though they were lumped in with this 70s craze the Rubettes were a throwback to the 50s and after the run of hits had ended they became big stars on the Continent cutting records which have never been available in the U K.
With no profile in the States to speak of their My Buddy Holly Days has ended up on many Holly associated comps
Though Under One Roof may have been ahead of its time I rate Fo Dee O Dee their finest hour

All the hits and more.
I'm a huge fan of 70s pop music and The Rubettes have always been one of my favourites. Seen as just a pop group, they were very talented. Read more

Buy This And Knock Some Punk Compilations On Floor As You Do So
What a gem this is. As a "record collector", I keep an eye out for these compilations so I can replace vinyl lost, mislaid, or guiltily left behind, during my youth. Read more
