a review i wrote, apparently, for some reason, possibly to be published somewhere, fifteen years ago


Neville Staple
The Rude Boy Returns
(Reign Records)

Neville Staple was once a member of The Specials.
This record features Rat Scabies and Mick Jones as guests
It sounds like it was recorded at a midi studio one afternoon.
The songs are grotesquely awful, pastiches of the good work Staple was once involved in.
I resent it sorely for the time I wasted listening to it.

2021 observation: apparently this was issued in a kind of Rude Boy Returns, Returns situation on vinyl last year. Christ! Some things deserve to be thoroughly forgotten forever.

I'm going to come back to this ep of Ryan because it has an amazing North Melbourne car chase, but first I want to honour Margaret Cruic...
