The Ruts - Demo's & Rehearsal (77 to 80)

Here's a small collection of demo's and a rehearsal from The Ruts that were all recorded some time between 1977 and 1980. I was just going to post the Stepping Bondage bootleg (tracks 1 to 14) but I thought I may as well post up some extra bits. The download isn't in the best quality but I reckon you've heard all the studio stuff already so why not post up something you may not have heard before.
