Ruts - Grin & Bear It 1980 UK 1st Press VG+/VG+

RUTS - GRIN & BEAR IT 1980 UK first pressing A poignant, fiery post-humous tribute to one of Britain’s most vital punk groups, this original 1980 UK pressing of The Ruts’ Grin and Bear It (Virgin – V 2188) serves as both a compilation of legendary non-album singles and a scorching live document. Released shortly after the tragic passing of frontman Malcolm Owen, the album captures the band's peak intensity—blending their signature heavy dub-reggae grooves with explosive punk rock energy. Featuring essential 7" single tracks like "In A Rut," "Staring At The Rude Boys," and "West One (Shine On Me)," alongside live bootleg-quality tracks recorded at the London Rainbow, this album is a monumental piece of late-'70s/early-'80s UK punk history. 1980 UK import/release by Virgin, catalog # V 2188 or V.2188. Original UK first pressing as a tribute to Malcolm Owen with Side A compilation of singles and live cuts on Side B. Sleeve grades VG+. Touch of dirt along white background at edges, light corner dings. Non-original generic white inner sleeve included. Vinyl grades VG+. Play tests with no issues/deficiencies. Very clean vinyl surface with only one light surface mark on side 1 and a handful of light surface marks/hairlines on side 2.
