The Thanes "Thanes Of Cawdor" 1987

Rare garage rock revival 1987 UK 14-track LP by the kings of the scene back in their day.
The Thanes have been plying their trade since 1986 in the semi-obscurity befitting an Edinburgh act that never moved to London. When I finally got to see them at the second Las Vegas Grind they knocked me out, so it's neat to have so much of their history in one place. Here are fine selections demonstrating that ebullient or moody, fuzzy or precise, Lenny Helsing's band can always be counted on to take the basic garage conventions and turn them into something personal and exciting."
The Thanes:
Bass, Vocals – Alan McLean / Drums, Vocals – Calvin Burt / Guitar, Vocals, Harmonica – Lenny Helsing / Organ, Guitar, Vocals – Bruce Lyall
