My version of Combat Rock is starting to look like S!, it's over 2 hours long now...and growing thanks to my highly skilled friends!

Ahh the dream would be to have a single album spanning LC to CR with Where Is England as the final song. It could be 100 songs long ideally.

I've listened to GEER a few times 'critically' in the last months to try and work out exactly what I don't like about it. With Rat Patrol now available at an acceptable quality that shows the original vision, and with Cut the Crap not existing in my mind, GEER is the remaining 'compromised' album. I...

Thanks for sharing. Here is the group picture as a double page.

That photo is great and would look good as part of a Rat Patrol album cover

Hey guys I created a Facebook group that only covers a small part of a bands career that lasted 5 years several decades ago. Anyone wanna join?

*Tumbleweeds*

So are all of these songs available on Rock Band then?

Crypto is definitely inflated like a ponzi scheme, but don't discount its value to 3rd world dictators, international crime syndicates etc. It is "value backed" by these nefarious organisations and therefore not a total house of cards. The useful idiots that have been pumping it up deserve ridicule ...

The gun thing is interesting for me as an Australian. Guns just don't exist in our culture, even our criminals barely have them.

Call it The Clash 3.0 and every song is a different take on Red Angel Dragnet or Crooked Beat

Be risonable.

Ok, we can have a little bit of Guns of Brixton, as a treat

Yes, Mark, it is interesting. Overpowered by Funk wasn’t on the proposed track list for Rat Patrol. It was meant for that bonus 12”. It’s placed at the very end of the Rat Patrol master tape after the final song. It should be noted that the version on the master tape is neither the Ext. New York mi...

Cool confusion being subbed out last minute is interesting

I am listening to Mustapha Dance for the first time in a long time. Realising the Ranking Roger version of Casbah is almost straight on top of this cut.

Hey guys, I ended up getting this sorted, thanks guys!

I own the CD to this but it has that 'rot' issue where there's little holes in the reflecting layer so I can't rip it without massive issues. I'm trying to track down a CD rip in FLAC. I'm happy to take photos of my CD to prove I'm not attempting to pirate what I already own. Can trade for some stuf...

Just another appreciation post for what we do have with Rat Patrol, thank fuck for that. Thanks Marky.
