Product Details

The Rubinoos were Bay Area power pop before anyone called it that, a band whose melodic instincts and teenage enthusiasm made them spiritual kin to the best of the Raspberries and early Beatles. These 1976 studio sessions predate their celebrated Beserkley run and offer a rare window into a band still finding its footing but already brimming with the hooks that would define them.

The Rubinoos - The CBS Tapes - 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
