I heard the Line CD of "Back To The Drawing Board' was a needle-drop 
with very poor sound quality. Castle UK put out the "Rubinoos Anthology" 
a couple years back. Its all the first album plus half of "Drawing 
Board". Despite good sound quality it was a disapointing comp by Castle 
which usually does a good to outstanding job on all thier reissues.

The Rubes need a good Anthology with their best LP cuts plus all the 
rare singles (Gorilla) flipsides (the brilliant sunny "As Long As I'm 
With You" - Which I played many more times than the A side!) several 
tracks from the "Party of 2" EP, maybe even a few cuts from Vox Pop.

I have some old old 50's-60's vintage reels made by a company called 
"Irish" with the Opelika, Alabama address stamped on the reels  - did 
this company get bought out by Ampex later on or was that thier budget 
label?
