Rubella Ballet's 1982 debut, the cassette-only Ballet Bag, has long been a sought-after item amongst the post-punk community. Happily, Dark Entries has licensed it and made it available on vinyl for the first time. Lavishly packaged and accompanied by two previously unseen photos and a replica of the original zine with lyrics and drawings by the band, Ballet Bag is one of the better examples of DIY punk-rock from the period. Energetic, stylish and immediate in feel, it has aged well in the 25 years since it was first released, which is not something you can say about many homemade style punk albums.
