    great to hear those early demos, a fabulous insight into one of the best bands from the era, its a shame they did'nt sign to 2 Tone

    many thanks for sharing that. cheers.

    Hi,

    thank you for all theses good stuffs. Perhaps can you help me ? I'm looking for The Rings - Live at The 100 Club on 26 april 1977. The 8 songs was reissued on a Twink CD called "Odds & Beginnings" but unfortunatelly, it's sold out now. So if you have this recording, it will be very great to post it.... thank you in advance
