Oh David! Saw The Scars live supporting Siouxie and the Banshees at Sirling University in 1982 - a magical thing to behold! I left my recorder at home as wish I had that gig now - I do have a one channel (left speaker only!!) Scars gig on tape from them playing the Tamdhu, Banoockburn (83?) but by that time King had left and the spark with it!
Too awful to admit: I really hoped this would be about David (Sylvian....) lol. I did actually buy the vinyl album, listened to it quite a few times, but than decided that Japan/Sylvian and U2 were better...
You are very welcome. "Scars were a very cult band" There are many out their still though who can still connect with late seventies/eighties bands who were not as popular, and for that reason they are somewhat special. I played this to my 16 year old daughter and she loved it. There is a definate connection with my daughter with music that I did not have with my parents, ie James Last, Mantovani etc which i actually like too, but they could not relate to my music.
Great song! Mystery Science Theater 3000 Ripped on this film. Awesome!

Ha ha ha! Brilliant! I bought a Region 1 DVD of This Island Earth last year.
I remember seeing the Scars a few times back in the early 80s, at the Venue in Victoria and Jenkinsons in Brighton.
I was pleased to see Author Author on CD and bought a copy straight away, Still have all the singles and the album on vinyl.
Keep up the good work spreading the word to the uninitiated, Spartacus.
