2021 Remaster of the Complete Glasgow Barrowlands 1993 concert
Big Country's Without The Aid Of A Safety Net was their first ever live album, originally released in 1994 and recorded at a homecoming gig at The Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow.
The set mixes tracks taken from their recent studio album, The Buffalo Skinners, such as the singles "Alone" and "Ships," along with the classic tracks from their catalogue "In A Big Country," "Look Away," and "Fields Of Fire," as well as two Neil Young covers, "Rockin’ In The Free World" and "Hey, Hey, My My (Out Of The Blue)."
The original vinyl version of this album only had a limited pressing on one vinyl. This new deluxe version features the complete unedited concert recording split over 3 vinyl for optimal sound quality. The package is a tri-fold sleeve with Triple 180 Gram Vinyl with sleeve notes written by guitarist Bruce Watson.
