Frankie Gavin: Live at Glor (2003-2004 Collection)

The NE English band The High Level Ranters played this reel along with the Shetland tune Da Tusca, on their 1969 LP "The Lads Of Northumbria". This was produced by Topic Records, but has apparently not been reissued as a CD.

Re: The Spey In Spate

Just curious, how did this tune become so popular compared to other Skinner tunes?
