Babe Ruth: The Marquee, London
Chas de Whalley, Sounds, 13 November 1976
SUPERSTARS COME and go, but Babe Ruth seem to rock on forever. The sort of band who always end up at the Marquee. Last time they played there it was Easter and very crowded, very crowded indeed. This time, well, it was bankbroken Monday and raining buckets out on Wardour Street too. Inside there was a rather lot of empty space and few restrictions upon movement.
