A double CD compilation of song highlights marking the folk vocal group's 24-year association with Greentrax Recordings.
The McCalmans released their first Greentrax album Peace And Plenty in 1986, the year the label was launched - it was subsequently awarded a Gold Disc by The Scottish Music Industry Association. 'The Macs', who had previously recorded with EMI and RCA to name but two major labels, intended to give Greentrax the essential 'leg-up' for the then fledgling label, but were so happy with the experience they stayed!
This compilation has been specially selected by The McCalmans and Greentrax managing director Ian Green from the many albums the band has recorded for the label. The selection clearly indicates the huge repertoire of The McCalmans, plus the songwriting strength within the band, which has only experienced two line-up changes in forty-five years.
The current line-up is Ian McCalman, Nick Keir and Stephen Quigg, however the singing and playing of Hamish Bayne and the late Derek Moffat are also included in this compilation.
