    Born in Liverpool unsurprisingly, and born in Yorkshire, respectively.

    I blame Wynton, what was the question?

    So what? My former collegue from my former job was born in Albania, which explains nothing, except that she's pure Russian) Your cultural belongings is not always marked by place of birth.
    Surnames like McCartney, McLaughlin I suspect are of the Scottish origin. Or you think the surnames are like abstract painting?)

    Ok my surnames is Scottish but you have to go back many many generations to get to Scotland. If your question is "are their names Scottish?" then yes they are, if your question is "are they Scottish?" then no they are not, if your question is "do they have Scottish heritage?" then yes they probably do. By that logic Elvis is Scottish.

    I think Macca's more Irish than Scottish...

    The Human Beast - Volume One (1970)



    And one more to add to the pile and I didn't see this one... Chou Pahrot... it's obscure, but really great - like an updated High Tide (killer violin/guitar). No CD though for this one.

    Chou Pahrot - Live (1979)

    Oi! Has anyone mentioned Nazareth yet?! Close Enough For Rock N Roll is still one of my favorite hard rock records.

    Ha ha, I must have seen Chou Pahrot about 20 or 30 times around '78 - '79. I never thought for a million years I'd see them mentioned here

    Hopefully a lot of PE posters would dig Trio AAB.
    Also Ganger gives off a pretty good Can / Ui buzz.

    Never saw them, but they were one of the half-dozen or so bands that always seemed to get a mention on Radio Clyde's gig guide, along with Underhand Jones and Sneeky Pete, and usually at the Bungalow Bar in Paisley! I did see Pallas at the Dial Inn in Glasgow, and also at Tiffany's nightclub, supported by a little-known band called Marillion; wonder whatever happened to them?...

    Yep - me too. Wanted to have that one available for display purposes. Though they did add their own touches, like put a black border around it, which wasn't necessary. But I do like they made it a gatefold (original is a single sleeve) and put the liner notes inside of that FOC. I also picked up the Japanese mini-LP (on Universal) about 7 years ago which replicates the original flap back cover. And it sounds really good too.

    Well, not necessarily my motto, but I do use that phrase a lot.

    I would like to point out that Stuart Adamson, of Big Country, was one of rock's greatest songwriters, period, capable of great empathy and always melodic. Check out the Steeltown album. He's greatly missed.

    Also, while Runrig went cheesy for a long time, their Proterra album from 10 years or so ago is wonderful:

    I haven't seen the original,so didn't know these details.I agree,black border wouldn't be necessary.

    Another reissue with frame is Agitation Free - Malesch ( Made in Germany,2012 )
    It don't look quite right.
