This is another vinyl transfer, a little crackly, but one which does not seem to be available on iTunes.
The Big Dish were formed in Airdrie in 1983, one member of the band supporting Steven Lindsay was Craig Armstrong, who would go onto work with Massive Attack and Madonna, and write the scores for Romeo and Juliet and Love, Actually, amongst many others. The band supported Lloyd Cole and Big Country on tour in the 1980s, and certainly they seem to have something in common musically with both these acts, though perhaps the act they are most comparable to is The Blue Nile. Certainly, they were more in the spirit of the sohisticated pop that was doing the rounds of the scottish scene at the time, think Love and Money, Hipsway, Hue and Cry, Deacon Blue than, say, The Pastels or The Shop Assistants.
I remember hearing this on the Radio in early 1991 when it came out, reaching no.37, and serving as their only UK Top 40 hit. The band split shortly afterwards…shame, because I think on this vidence they deserved to do much better.
