Phew, it's still here ! I thought when I saw this YouTube playlist that this clip had been broken up.
The last time I was in Dundee about 2006 I was on the train pissed, and could see my old school H*rris Academy from the bridge. I saw red and got a taxi there but wasn't very well received. So I threatened to torch the place. Result: £600 fine. Someone asked me why it took me 25 years to get mad. It was only afterwards that I learnt that Morgan Academy had burnt to the ground not long before.
Really very nice! as an animal lover I used to hate their title "Pick the Cats Eyes Out" up until someone explained me what "Cats Eyes" are for English... :))
Well there were 5 tracks on the "Revelation" EP in about 1980, (total sales 1,000 !), later released in CD format with linited sales, it seems I've got the last copy !
4 of the songs are on this clip 1.Helicopter Honeymoon 2.Pick The Cat's Eyes Out 3.Radio Tay (my favourite) 4.Why Don't You Come Out Tonight? On the "Dundee My Dundee" clip is the 5th and final track "Night Train".
It took me 25 years and a hundred quid to get this ep. I should have looked on You Tube first, could have saved a fortune. How many more years till I get the tapes? Top quality. Hope there's more.
Well here it is, from the horses mouth as it were.... there will be an elpee of tracks from before and around the time of the Revelation ep released in 2008 entitled "Auchmithie Forever". It will be a limited edition - more details about pre-ordering soon.
Like the piss-take of Bowies "Ashhes to ashes" vid on the beach. This would date it to at least 1980 rather than the 70's. Great you kept this cine work safe all these years.

I really love the first song which reminds me abit of The Fratellis sound in a way.
The Scrotum Poles definitely have a great sound indeed!

I will look for the "Revelation" ep on Ebay, maybe I can find a copy?? Or the CD would be great too.
theonlytruepunk 3 years ago
As I said, I'll ask Craig again in a month or two, you're not the only one to ask me about it !!
You'd be very lucky to find it on eBay.
This channel is posted by one of the band I think, so maybe they'll take note ?!
