URBAN DOGS [2LP] (RED VINYL, BONUS ALBUM WITH 3 7' B-SIDES & PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED LIVE RECORDING, GATEFOLD, ORIGINAL ARTWORK, LIMITED TO 500, INDIE ADVANCE EXCLUSIVE) (RSD 2018)

35th Anniversary reissue of Punk rock collaboration (UK SUBS' Charlie Harper with THE VIBRATORS' Knox, with the SubsAE Alvin Gibbs plus Matthew Best), debut album in Limited Edition RED vinyl, + bonus, previously unreleased LP with 3 7" b-sides and a live gig. First time on vinyl since the original 1983 release. Gatefold sleeve with the original artwork, a photo-collage by Knox (in tribute to the Stones' Exile on Main Street cover). In 1983 the UK Subs and the Vibrators found themselves at a loose end after some lengthy touring. Old friends Charlie Harper and Ian 'Knox' Carnochan got together and started making some music they shared a common love for. Along with a cover of the New York Dolls and Iggy & the Stooges, they added their own compositions that fitted.
