40 years after its initial release by Virgin Records, The Ruts debut album The Crack gets a deserved 3 Disc Expanded Edition which further cements its reputation as one of the greatest Punk Rock albums of all time.

Disc 1 is the original 12 track album, the re-master overseen by surviving members Segs Jennings and Dave Ruffy.

The second disc features the band’s first four singles – In A Rut , Babylon’s Burning (UK No.7), Something That I Said (UK No.29) and Jah War – plus 11 previously unreleased studio monitor mixes from the original album sessions showing rawer, work in progress versions of the album’s studio tracks.

The final disc is a previously unreleased live show from The Netherlands in January 1980 featuring the original band at their most electric and exciting, vocalist Malcolm Owen in particular on fine form. The detailed booklet contains sleeve notes by Record Collector’s Rich Davenport plus lots of memorabilia from the era.
