Great band

Jah War is fantastic and largely unknown. Unfortunately, though, this article is written in a rather breathless "fan-boy" manner and could do with a little restraint.

additional single

Well, I know practically nothing about the band so can't add anything except -- Didn't they also put out a 45 "Sit on my Face, Stevie Nicks"? I never found the thing, unfortunately, so don't have a copy. But I clearly remember the thing, unless I'm attaching it to the wrong band. I'll have to check my old British catalogues . . . "one of these days". Hmm, which am I gonna do first: dig through the piles of stuff in my basement, read more rock pages on Wikipedia, or listen to music? Aw, you know me too well.

Ruts DC

I read somewhere that Da Capo means without the head, or something similar91.107.116.5 (talk) 00:44, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Collins English Dictionary states; Music: to be repeated (in whole or part) from the beginning. [C18:from Italian, literally: from the head]. Hope this helps,

DC is also an accepted abbreviation in medical terminology for "discontinue". - Steve3849 ^talk 23:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Malcolm Owen.

I know the lead singer, Malcolm Owen died quite young.

Something confirmed by this article.

I could never figure out how to do it, but is it possible to start a biography of the man, so it can be linked to this page?

Surprised to find there is no article for Malcolm Owen. He would appear to be notable per WP:BAND: member of a notable band, writer of some well regarded songs, and died young. Was there once an article that has since been deleted, or are we just waiting for someone to write one? 87.112.211.141 (talk) 19:46, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
