I'm friendly with David Wells who is Sanctuary's go-to person for 60s and 70s pop. David is a fan of the Rubinoos but he doesn't own Garage Sale, Basement Tapes, Paleophonic etc so he asked me to propose tracks for the second CD (it was originally going to be a 2 CD set). I'm a little embarrassed because there are probably more knowledgeable people out there to do the job but David wanted to keep momentum going. I think he knew that Jon and Tommy would ultimately make the selections anyway.
I was shock at my credit for getting the ball rolling. That relates more to me helping David I believe - I'm certainly not reponsible for the reissue in anyway other than naming a few favorite tracks.
By the way, David did the work on Sanctuary's excellent Beserkly comp of a few years back and is one of the premier compilers and historians of British 60s/70 pop. Most collectors will have a CD or two with his name associated.

Great to see so many people enjoying The Rubinoos retrospective
box-set. Majestic stuff - have vocals ever sounded so effortlessly
cherub(in)ic? Maybe if they hadn't been as fond of goofing around or as
self-effacing (as evidenced by the live set on disc 3) they'd have gone
on to rule the charts, but they would also have lost a bit of their
charm I think.
I notice in the notes that Mark Frumento, who posts here, gets thanked
for getting this compilation off the ground. What was your involvement,
Mark? Whatever it was, thanks for helping with getting this great
music released again.
