Modern soul / Cado Belle - I Name This Ship Survival

[johncellario]

I have the original vinyl album and EP but found it recently on ITunes for download. Loved this band.

God - I remember seeing them just before this album was released playing in the Belleville in Dunfermline - I must have been 17 so I don;t know how I got in there but they were wonderful live.

Loved this album - brings back great memories. Does anyone know where I could get the album?

@grakefloaby - Cado Belle album? Try the Music Stack website. Also, the LP and EP are available on a Japanese CD. Try Amazon UK (they had one last time I checked), Amazon USA and also Amazon Canada. Prices vary from about 15 quid (UK) to 60+ (Canada). All sites appears to be down to one or two copies (Music Stack is all vinyl inc. singles and I saw a CD-R). The Japanese CD is wonderful... a mini album sleeve, and having the EP tracks added is a real bonus. And it all - still - sounds great.

They were ahead of their time ('77). This song deals with the sustainability matter. Global warming. Big issue nowadays.

Just found this video! Oh Happy day!! Always felt this band should have been huge! First heard them supporting Gllagher and Lyle at the Apollo in Glasgow and then stood 3 feet from Maggie at Edinburgh Uni. gig in October 1977!! Still sounds fresh and the musicianship is just superb!!

you're right still sounds fresh....and would love to see them live.....still keeping the sound alive and play them out at our rare soul nights...

A musical jewel

Poor Cado Belle...should have been Scotland's Rose Royce, but arrived just when punk blasted everything else out of the water.

[SteffanLlwyd]

Better than Rose Royce....

[glumm22]

Classic show them all how a sound should sound. In a word perfection.

Beacon Radio in Wolverhampton used to play loads of Cado Belle stuff in the late '70s.

[ukgroovejunkies]

yes ,I'll try and post sometime soon

[Latzinger]

great - forgot this track! Isn't there another good track on this LP?

[SteffanLlwyd]

Every track on it is utterly brilliant. My favourites however are 'Stone's Throw From Nowhere' , 'Airport Shutdown' and 'Paper in the Rain'. The last one mentioned is about how we all felt when we heard the news of Jimi's death at the age of 27. I remember hearing of the assasination of JFK, but I was too young for it to mean much. But when Hendrix died, that hurt bad.
