ORANGE JUICE The Glasgow School (2005)

 

"The Glasgow School" is a compilation album by ORANGE JUICE, released in 2005. It contains the band's four singles for Postcard Records, the greater part of the 1992 compilation album Ostrich Churchyard (which contained early versions of tracks that later appeared on the 1982 album You Can't Hide Your Love Forever), an alternate version of "Simply Thrilled Honey", and a cover of "I Don't Care" by the Ramones. This material was all recorded between 1978 and 1981, prior to the band signing with Polydor Records. (wikipedia)

THE VINYL VILLAIN is back

I stumbled over THE VINYL VILLAIN back in 2010 whilst searching for anything I don't yet have from EDWYN COLLINS, PAUL QUINN, THE TRASH CAN SINATRAS, of course MORRISSEY, and JOY DIVISION and it turned out that THE VINYL VILLAIN was Bull's Eye for each of them.

When EDWYN COLLINS played in Hamburg on his "Hope And Despair"-Tour in 1989 Edwyn and I had a bottle of whisky together backstage and he not only signed my Scotland flag but also gave me his address and telephone number...
