Recorded at Black and Gold Studios, Blanefield.
Released 1985.
This was to be the third and final L.P. that Fraser and Ian would make together. They were semi-professional and Fraser's civil engineering company was starting to take off in a big way. Ian was bowing out, due to failing health.
That said, they wanted to go out with as big a bang as they could. They mustered another 12 songs and went headlong into this project. "We'll leave them with a cracker!!"
As usual, they surrounded themselves with top line, if not famous, musicians.
Alan and Rob Mairs came along again.They had been on all of them, for good reason.
Carol Jamieson and Ian Harkness agreed to re-appear.
New 'recruits' were John Gahagan, of Battlefield Band, Tom Doyle and Ron Gardner.
Ron and Ian were, at that time, working on some songs Ian had been writing. One was a tribute to Edinburgh, Ian's Dad's birthplace. It went on the album. The first recording of anything he had written.
Although, there are some cracking songs on this record, Ian was very pleased when the radio progs generally chose to play "Edinburgh".
Some thought it strange that a Glasgow Keelie should write a tribute to Auld Reekie. In fact, it's unheard of.
Ian says "We used to holiday at my grandma's house in Newhaven. It was beautiful to be there with Mum, Dad and my brothers. Everyone has special memories of childhood and that's where mine take me. Hence the song."
Generally, his memories of recording this album are not happy ones.
He was feeling bad with 'nerves' at time of recording. He was very ill. So much so that, sometimes, Fraser had to sing guide vocals in order that Ian might overdub them later.
Unfortunately, by the time Ian felt well enough to overdub, they realised that they had made the classic error. They had recorded 'live' (not multi-track) so Fraser's guide vocal had spilled onto the instrument tracks.
They were on a tight budget and re-recording was not an option. In some cases, they kept Fraser's guide vocals for lead. It was the only answer. It meant that a couple of the songs which were, suitably, allocated to Ian were now sung by Fraser. Their singing styles differ considerably. The result was strange. Some songs, it seemed, had been turned on their head.
This album was commended by many. It does have a relaxed feel to it.

Fraser and he are still good buddies and would like to do another album sometime.....
for 'Auld Lang Syne'
