David Kubinec has enjoyed a long and varied career in music which kick started in the beat boom of the sixties and continued throughout the Glam influenced seventies and beyond. David was a member of s number of bands during the sixties including Pieces Of Mind who spent a great deal of time in Germany and The World Of Oz who managed to score a hit single with a David Kubinec song Muffin Men released on Decca’s underground label Deram.
After passing briefly through the ranks of progressive rock band Mainhorse Airline at the tail end of the sixties and into the start of the seventies which subsequently became the shortened Mainhorse. By 1973 Kubinec had found a new musical outlet and christened this new band The Rats. The Rats recorded a self titled album which was released along with a single. A change in line up however meant that the band that promoted the album was not the band that had recorded the album.
The band then recorded the Rats Second Long Player. The master tapes were given to his accountant for safe keeping. Due however to a disagreement between the accountant and members of a notorious criminal gang the tapes “Disappeared” and were thought to be lost forever….Not so David Kubinec had made a safety copy of the master tape and had hidden it away where it remained unreleased.
Now thirty five years later the tapes have been taken out of hiding brushed down and readied for release. The album stands up to scrutiny very well and still sounds incredibly modern and certainly not of the era in which it was recorded. The album is however one of the all time great “Lost” albums and as such the release will interest collectors and fans alike of David Kubinec's work.
Tracks: Shine On, Mr Straight, Shootin' Again, The Elf Sires, Bite The Bullet, All Ways In The Night, Go Get Straight, The Highway Man, Day of the Madman, Good Girls Taste Nice.
