I'm going to visit Glasgow for a week during next month, and I'll probably visit Edinburgh.
Does anyone know any vinyl or 2nd hand record stores there?
Also are there any worth-checking Scottish bands from the NWOBHM?
Cheerz!
Scotland! Band recommendation

Chaser and Holocaust are the only bands that come to mind for me. The Scottish scene was pretty small from what I gather.

Not bad. I never heard the single tracks before. From what I remember of the full-lengths they were quite average.Khnud wrote:Check this one out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMXVqGPvG2IAvenger wrote:Chaser and Holocaust are the only bands that come to mind for me.

I don't know that it was all that small a scene, although a lot of the Scottish bands didn't manage to release records so i can see how you'd get that impression.Avenger wrote:Chaser and Holocaust are the only bands that come to mind for me. The Scottish scene was pretty small from what I gather.

Here's a little known Scottish guilty pleasure from the early NWoBHM era, ROUGH JUSTICE (from The Hebrides, a tiny archipeligo of islands off the Scottish West coast), from back in 1979:

It's the A-Side of their lone single "Black Knight (A Gothic Legend)".
There's a charming naiveté to it that i very much enjoy, and although not the heaviest thing you'll hear from the NWoBHM era there's something really catchy about it.
That it comes from such a remote location just makes it all the more intriguing.

Yeah, the full lengths are not that exciting, but the first single slays. For some reason it's quite cheap too. I know you're only looking for CDs, I think it's included on a later compilation.Avenger wrote:Not bad. I never heard the single tracks before.

Yes, both sides of that single are on The Neat Records Singles Collection Volume One. I don't think their debut LP should be overlooked though. While much of it is more on the melodic/glam side, it also has some great and heavy Saxon type numbers like "Victims Of The Night" and "Hell Is Beautiful".Khnud wrote:Yeah, the full lengths are not that exciting, but the first single slays.
