Radio Rats - Into the night we slide - Vinyl record - Reissue

The Radio Rats The Radio Rats are a South African rock band formed in 1977 in Springs, a mining town on the East Rand. The core of the band has always been Jonathan Handley (guitarist and chief songwriter) and Dave Davies (lead vocals), alongside a famously rotating cast of drummers and bassists — including Herbie Parkin on bass and Leonard Dixon on drums during their most famous period. Their Big Moment In 1978 they recorded their debut album, Into the Night We Slide, in Johannesburg over weekends with producer Greg Cutler. Released in October 1978 on Jo'Burg Records, it's now considered one of South Africa's greatest rock albums. Its lead single, "ZX Dan" — a quirky tale about a travelling spaceman — peaked at number 2 on Johannesburg's Radio 5 in 1979, kept off the top spot only by Michael Jackson. Style and Legacy Their sound combined punk's raucous energy with melodic pop tunes about off-the-wall subjects, influenced by David Bowie, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, and the Sex Pistols. They were influential in the South African independent rock scene of the late 1970s — a period of political upheaval — and famously inspired fellow Springs resident James Phillips (aka Bernoldus Niemand) to start writing songs. A feature-length documentary, Jiving and Dying – The Radio Rats Story, premiered at the 2016 Durban International Film Festival. Still Going Remarkably, Handley and Davies never stopped. By day Handley is an anaesthetist, and the band — scattered across South Africa, Sweden and the UK — still records and tours, with recent albums including The Concise Rock 'n Roll Primer (2017), Silotown (2022), and Vampire Weekends (October 2025). Bassist Herbie Parkin passed away in 2020. Please note the following observations. Vinyl vg+ Side A light scuffs and one 3cm scuff . Playback perfect with no skips occasional pops. Typically Vinyl.
