Universal Uk InnerSleeve Dawn Of The Rats - The Boomtown Rats Vinyl

Experience the raw beginnings of a legendary new-wave band with Dawn Of The Rats: B-Sides, Demos And Live 1975-1979. Before Bob Geldof and The Boomtown Rats achieved massive UK chart success with their polished power-pop sound, they possessed a gritty and unrefined energy. This collection brings that early era to life for collectors and fans alike. For the first time on vinyl, you can listen to the band's original live demo tapes from 1975 to 1979. These recordings represent the exact material that caught the attention of Nigel Grainge and Chris Hill at Ensign Records when the group moved to the UK. This release provides a deep look into the band's evolution, featuring four demo tracks and a live performance recorded at Moran's Hotel in Dublin. From the energy of their early days to their unique take on tracks like Robert Parker's Barefootin', this vinyl offers a rare glimpse into the roots of one of Dublin's most famous musical exports.
