I've got that Cincinatti Fatback comp on Proper: it's good, but doesn't include many of the original recordings that made their first album 'Play It By Ear' so memorable. I wish someone would reissue that, as that's the real Roogalator deal. I wouldn't swap my battered old Do It LP for a king's ransom.

Talking of old Stiff bands, I'd like to mention Plummet Airlines. They only did one 45 ('Silver Shirt'/'This Is The World') but it was a belter, and I recall a fine Peel session by them that I'd love to hear again: anyone out there got a copy? Lew Lewis Reformer were fantastic as well: real gritty Southend R&B of the highest order. Check out the first 45 'Boogie On The Street' and the later debut LP 'Save The Wail'

Otherwise, you can't go past the Brinsleys - the true kings of the pub rock scene in my book. All six of their LPs were great. They're still available as three 2CD sets on BGO, and they sound fabulous: music to put a big smile on the chops. Don't just settle for a compilation.
