Yes, I contributed to it. Somebody had put in a couple of releases, so I thought I might as well add to make it more accurate. Unfortunately, my old man made some of the worst records of all time (little vocal control, no production, primitive backing, no double tracking...), but what can you do? You're stuck with them. Instead of just disappearing with time, they are mentioned here and there so somebody bought these bits of vinyl - and they've come back through the Internet! So, in many ways I would rather these discs weren't there - but they are, and some obsessives out there are transferring data on them, so I might as well try and add to that so it's at least more complete. One of the two LP's my father made for Thule 'Highland Road' by the 'Stewart Ross Dance Band' has an extraordinary cover, a psychadelic nightmare! We never did find out who designed it, but we think they might have wanted to design for the Pink Floyd or the Beatles and ended up with a 'Heather and Haggis' Scottish dance band. I don't mind people taking the mickey out of it. So I added it to discogs, in case somebody else got to it. At least I have the facts about who is behind this criminal record! Seriously though, although the recordings are dire, sometimes they contain the original versions of songs that were covered by other artists on a larger scale and are on many compilations.
