apb - Something To Believe In LP 81 - 85 w Extended Versions EP 85 w Cure For The Blues LP 86 w Missing You Already EP 86

REPOST Request:  Well with that post from last week of a new category I had not heard of from my youth actually the song was but the CADO BELLE album as 'Scottish Soul', here now I am reminded from this requestor that Scotland also had this 'Scottish Funk' band who rocks!  What a wonderful country Scotland is for music and don't forget they had the first grunge band and world class guitarists and punks, dream pop like Altered Images...  I have family roots that are Scotch/Irish/English and very proud of it.  My dad traced our family roots back to overlords on the Irish plantations who were either Scottish or Norwegian and his joke is that the Vikings stopped their conquering ways when they met the Irish women!     https://gofile.io/d/Cm4d0w

CADO BELLE - st LP 76

 This one absolutely blew me away when I heard the second song called 'Infamous Mister' with it's chorus involving the hummed 'Ooo Ooo Ahaa" which I know I must have heard on the kitchen or car or other house radio where I grew up at the tender age of 8 years old.  For you see, around that time when I would cry I came up with a special tune that I later thought I had invented (I would sing/cry 'Ooo Ahh Yah!  Ooo-Ahh-Yah!').  In fact, I think by singing this tune every time I cried for which my other 7 siblings would make fun of me for, it helped me not be a constant crier like my little brother was well into his tens.  Thus I want to call Maggie Reilly with her 'Scottish Soul' singing voice my Supernanny!!

THE MOIRS - State Of Shock LP 78

REPOST Request:  I had said before that this is good around the holiday season so it must be some good vocal melodies.                    https://gofile.io/d/LjqeV9     

Del Amitri - Change Everything CD 92

 Cool to see this band at Good Will as I used to have their debut self-titled album from 1985 that I taped from a friend onto a nice sounding metal cassette tape and it quickly became a favorite.  However, couldn't seem to find it when perusing my old tapes...dang it!!      https://gofile.io/d/OWzosY

Gerry Rafferty - Can I Have My Money Back LP 71 w st LP 74 w City By City LP 78 w Stealer's Wheel, Best Of.. LP 78 w Night Owl LP 79 w Snakes And Ladders LP 80 w Sleepwalking LP 82

 REPOST Request:  What I wrote before:  Another great lyricist who wears sunglasses all the time, kind of like Russ Ballard for example.  I wonder if the fellow Scotsmen in TV21 influenced the name of the S&L LP since such a big hit.             https://gofile.io/d/lBE6Tg

 REPOST Request:  I got most of these rips from the old '80sonspeed' blog...always liked the guitars-as-bagpipes sound they invented along with Gary Moore (Over the Hills And Far Away).  And and and, if you like this band, you simply must hear the members previous band the Skids!

REPOST Request:  While that 'Hangman's Daughter' album may have influenced Led Zeppelin, the tie-dyed first album picture I show '5000' was a huge influence for some great bands I know.
