July 10, 201113 yr heard it saturday morning on SOTS, apparently its on direction, great record why havnt i heard it before ?, none on ebay or gemm ! What's it called? They did "Message to you Rudy" on Direction.
July 10, 201113 yr oops sorry its called broken heart and it is indeed the other side of message to you, they did another one on parlophone thats good also with a "rudy" themed a side, apparently from birmingham, just seems like one of hose records thats too good to have escaped attention, its on youtube Edited July 10, 201113 yr by codfromderby

Can't remember but think it's mid-tempo, I'll have to dig it out and give it a spin. Haven't heard the Direction tune though. Pete, is 'Message To You Rudy' another cover of the Dandy classic?
July 10, 201113 yr never set me free is another nice tune, i,m usually pretty good at this sort of stuff but once again never heard it before i was looking for broken heart on you tube, no lps or owt on gemm
July 10, 201113 yr Not really a fan of the Rudie sides.Their best track (soulish wise) is Never Gonna Let You Go which is the b side of You Must Be Joking (doomy prog with hammond.). Their LP is rare and expensive and a proggy affair.Not soulish.
July 11, 201113 yr is 'Message To You Rudy' another cover of the Dandy classic? Yes. The Direction single has always been hard to find, even when such records populated the UK's cutout racks and junkshops. I've never owned one in 40 odd years of looking.... 'Rudy's In Love' was and still is a fantastic record. So is their psych masterpiece, 'Mr. Armageddan', but that's another rave for another forum... The Locomotive's drummer, Bob Lamb, later produced UB40's one and only worthwhile contribution to popular music, the "Signing Off" album...
