I can't believe this hasn't surfaced on YouTube before, especially as it is now available on DVD. This is a transfer from an old VHS copy, so apologies for the quality. For those who don't know, it is from a truly dreadful film called 'Never Too Young To Rock' which makes 'Confessions of a Window Cleaner' seem almost Shakespearian by comparison. Just as interesting are the cars in the background. Can you see Gene Hunt anywhere? A truly iconic clip though, the Rubettes at the peak of "Ru-mania". Great stuff!

Great clip...I loved the Rubettes - "Sugar Baby Love" was the first single I bought as a 10 year old and I had their debut album too. I can still remember excitedly going to the cinema to see "Never Too Young to Rock" and loving it. Probably best not to revisit it from what you say!13 years ago

@SeventiesMania I could be mistaken, but I dont remember seeing NTYTR! I do know that Dave Mount (who played drums for the Rubettes-and has since died) was in "Side by Side", and I seem to remember Mud knocking down a wall between the two clubs in the storyline and starting to play! I actually have "Side by Side" on videotape somewhere! Its a real trip! I also remember that when it was shown in the cinema it was shown alongside "Remember me this Way" with GG (nuff said!).13 years ago

Don't diss 'Never Too Young To Rock', it's a classic! The two guys in the van with the radar had to enlist all the groups seen, such as the Rubettes and Slick, to join a giant concert for the young people who had been banned from listening to music by the government, or something. It was a most ridiculous film, but I'd still love to see it again!13 years ago

@MrBillyhedge Wasn't this the film in which Mud bizarrely got caught up in a fight between football hooligans in a transport café? And then they had those bows and arrows with plastic suckers on the end with which to fight back? I love all those cash-in 70s pop films with flimsy stories :-) I'm not sure Mud were in 'Side By Side', Kenny definitely were. Fox were billed as being 'in the film', but their appearance was just one character playing an early video tape of them.13 years ago

Side by Side, starred Stephanie DeSykes and Rain, with various B grade support acts. This clip is indeed from Never Too Young To Rock, which basically showcased Mud, with The Rubettes. Not sure, but I think that the trio Hello (New York Grove, Tell Him) were also in the film. Re the comment below - The Glitterband were very very professional, they knew their stuff - John Springate was about 4Ft 4, but hell he could play. I was a huge Rubettes fan, had all the singles. GREAT POST14 years ago

deltango66: I see in your comments that this clip is from a film called 'Never Too Young To Rock' , I seem to remember it from another film called "Side by Side" which starred Mud amongst others. I could be mistaken, can you shed any light for me?15 years ago
