‘Shine On Me’ celebrates the band’s visceral legacy via a chronological journey through all the singles released featuring Malcolm Owen – from their self-produced 1979 debut ‘In A Rut’ to the posthumous ‘West One’. It’s the first complete of Ruts classics on vinyl and it also includes the original releases’ blistering B-sides, many of which could have been A’s in their own right.
