contray to popular belief Scotch on the Rocks was played and recorded by the MILITARY Band of the Black Watch and NOT! the pipes and drums, this is the oringinal recording from the Spark lable 1975 a solo piper
Ich hörte diese Musik oft als kleiner junge mit meinem Bruder zusammen. Diese war auf einer alten K-Tel Vinyl-Platte aufgenommen. Und heute finde ich die schöne Musik hier bei Youtube. Super und vielen Dank.
I often heard this music together as a small boy with my brother. This was recorded on an old K-Tel vinyl record. And today I find the beautiful music here on Youtube. Great and thank you.
It peaked at no. 8 whilst that guy who's now in Eastenders held the top spot. Not all the TOTP shows from 1975 were kept, so I don't know if the performance still exists.
Great track! Still got the original 7". The Spark label was 99% dedicated to Northern Soul music so this was somewhat an oddity in their catalogue...

My mother would play this song every morning to get me out of bed, she loved the pipe and drum of the Black Watch.
Sadly I have the honor of playing it at her funeral on Monday as we her children salute her on her final voyage.

Great song. First heard it in '75 from Toronto's station 99.9. Carl Banas announced it on air.
Still a great old song.
