The Rubinoos – The CBS Tapes (Colored Vinyl LP)
Product Details
The Rubinoos were teenage power pop true believers in a mid-70s San Francisco scene that didn't always know what to do with them, and these 1976 studio recordings predate the Beserkley debut that would introduce them to the wider world. Hearing them tear through a Jonathan Richman cover and a Pepsi jingle with equal conviction tells you everything about who they were: earnest, funny, and absolutely locked in.
Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Recorded at CBS Studios in San Francisco in 1976, before they were signed to the legendary Beserkley Records, The CBS Tapes captures The Rubinoos as the scrappy, bratty kids they were. It also shows the huge talent and energy of a young band near the beginning of their career, who believed they were unstoppable. This never before released recording is the perfect way to kick off the band's 50th anniversary celebration. Songs performed include Jonathan Richman's "Government Center," "The Pepsi Generation," commercial jingle, and several Rubinoos originals.
