The Blues Busters - Wings Of A Dove

If I had the wings like a dove
If I had the wings like a dove
I would fly, fly away, fly away
And be at rest

If I had the wings like a dove
If I had the wings like a dove
I would fly, fly away, fly away
And be at rest

Since I have no wings, since I have no wings
Since I have no wings, I cannot fly, fly, fly
Since I have no wings, since I have no wings
Since I have no wings, I have to sing, sing, sing, sing

If I had the wings like a dove
If I had the wings like a dove
I would fly, fly away, fly away
And be at rest

(..)

Since I have no wings, since I have no wings
Since I have no wings, I cannot fly, fly, fly
Since I have no wings, since I have no wings
Since I have no wings, I have to sing, sing, sing, sing

If I had the wings like a dove
If I had the wings like a dove
I would fly, fly away, fly away
And be at rest
Fly away and be at rest

The Specials - Rudies Come Back (BBC2 Arena 1980)

18 minutes of clips from the 1980 BBC2 Arena documentary "Rudies Come Back"...

Sadly the image and sound quality is very poor as well as the remaining 17 minutes of the film being missing...

I've scoured the net and all I could find were these clips on an obscure Russian website, which was only in 320 x 240 pixels and at 12 frames per second so there wasn't much I could do to improve the quality...

At the end I've include the only clips the BBC will show even though they still have the full documentary in their archives. I've no idea why the BBC won't show this film again or even why they wont release it on DVD...

So unless someone out there know where this excellent little piece of Ska history can be found in all it's glory, then I suppose this'll have to do for now... :-(

UB40 - Live In Moscow

Thus the UBs were to embark on a tour that would take them from California sun to Russian snows. From where money is God to where Lenin is Jesus Christ. The idea was intriguing. How much is really known of the country about which everyone has an opinion. The contradictions were startling. Rennaissance beauty offset by Orwellian gloom. The hand of friendship gloved in suspicion and fear. As exotic as the third world yet unmistakably European. Somebody,somewhere in the russian ministry thought it a good idea to invite the UBs. They would be the first western pop band to enjoy such a privilege. They had been given an offer they couldn't refuse....Doctor X

UB40 - Russia / CCCP Documentary - October 1986

Another look at the UB40 tour back in 1986. This is the documentary version that was not released on video. It was aired on European TV a few times though. It would be great if this documentary version, and the video version were released on DVD or bluray!
