Recorded at CBS Studios in San Francisco in November 1976, The CBS Tapes captures The Rubinoos before they were signed to the legendary Beserkley Records — raw, energetic, and brimming with youthful confidence. This never-before-released recording documents one of America's greatest power pop bands at the very spark of their career, showcasing the scrappy, irresistible charm that would soon make them icons of the genre.
Released by Yep Roc Records as part of the band's 50th anniversary celebration, The CBS Tapes is a remarkable time capsule featuring a mix of Rubinoos originals alongside inspired covers, including Jonathan Richman's "Government Center" and classic rock and pop staples. The energy captured in these grooves reflects a young band that truly believed they were unstoppable — and listening to this record, it's easy to understand why.
