  • Sorry - this release is no longer available from Temple Records.


This is a re-release of Battlefield Band's classic 1979 album, 'Stand Easy' (originally released on Topic Records), to which we have added four tracks from an EP called 'Preview', produced on a limited basis by Temple Records in 1980.

'Stand Easy' featured the early line up of Jenny Clark, Duncan MacGillivray, Brian McNeill and Alan Reid. 'Preview' featured an unusual five piece line-up, with MacGillivray, McNeill and Reid joined by Sylvia and Jim Barnes.


"These recordings catch Battlefield Band showing the questing, inquisitive musical spirit that was to produce arguably their finest studio work in the Eighties"
THE SCOTSMAN

"Throughout, that cool Scots swagger and vibrancy is there in copious amounts ... still fresh fifteen years on"
ROCK N REEL

"Thanks to Temple, these recordings are no longer history, a very worthwhile reissue of a classic"   
FOLK BUZZ
