Hello. I have heard that Alastair McDonald once recorded a L.P. with political songs, that told the listener to vote for the Scottish Nationalist Party.
I think that would be quite interesting to hear, and I wonder if anyone has got the title for this LP, so that I could look for it at eBay etc...

It's probably the one I wrote and produced way back in the 60s called Scotland First. I don't know if I have any file copies but email me at [e-mail] and I'll have a look in the morning.

Oh, dear me. You really don't need to do that! I'm so pleased with getting the name, and you don't need to do anything more. I'll search the web.

Thank you very much.
