First ever LP i bought! (wi me pocket money)
The late spring sun was shining and the sky was as blue as on the cover that day, there definitevly was a buzz in the air!
Later at home, on listening, I decided to like the Whole album in spite of the cheesy synth backing. I wasn’t going to throw the baby twins with the bathwaters! Side A was just too cheerful! And the buzz I got from the B side!!

Track # 10 on “Youtube”….

Recorded 1984. Ged Foley and Duncan McGillivray had been replaced by Alastair Russell and Dougie Pincock by the time of this concert recording.

Re: There’s A Buzz

The tune which follows the song “Shining Clear” is not credited on the LP but it is known by Scottish musicians today as “The moonshine”.
