Yeah, Rudys In Love, was a minor hit - you'd know it if you heard it.

* the lead singer (I think) Norman Haines had an LP called Den Of Eniquity a year or two later -worth something like £500

'Never Set Me Free' is the flip of 'Rudi's In Love' on Parlophone. Can't remember but think it's mid-tempo, I'll have to dig it out and give it a spin.

Haven't heard the Direction tune though. Pete, is 'Message To You Rudy' another cover of the Dandy classic?

Yes.

The Direction single has always been hard to find, even when such records populated the UK's cutout racks and junkshops. I've never owned one in 40 odd years of looking....

'Rudy's In Love' was and still is a fantastic record. So is their psych masterpiece, 'Mr. Armageddan', but that's another rave for another forum...

The Locomotive's drummer, Bob Lamb, later produced UB40's one and only worthwhile contribution to popular music, the "Signing Off" album...
