This eponymous album from the great Scottish group was originally released on the Topic Records  label in 1977. It features the early line-up of Alan Reid, Brian McNeill, Jamie McMenemy and John Gahagan.

With a combination of fine musicians, hard work and good music, Battlefield Band have gone from strength to strength and continue to tour the world, playing to an ever widening audience. As a team, along with producer Robin Morton, they have made a huge number of critically acclaimed albums, but this was the release which made people first pay attention to the band and, even today, it sounds as fresh as when it was recorded in 1976.


"... the band have always been at the forefront of presenting Scottish music in a fresh and modern context and it's to their credit that these early recordings haven't dated like their South-of-the-border contemporaries"
