Hi, I am desperately trying to locate an LP from many moons ago.
It was called " Music of the Highlands and Islands".
It was recorded by Grampian Records when their studios were in Bank Row.
It included numbers by Argo Cameron, Wick Scottish Dance Band, Stewart Ross and Lewis Paul.
Any help on the road to my discovery of this would be wonderful.

I have been scourin the net but no luck yet, have you thought of writing to Grampian Records ? or any of the artists on the compilation. Maybe local radio station may be able to help.

Your welcome :)

Thanks for all your input. Pat....you had me laughing as I could imagine you raking through lots of LP's (and no doubt ending up reminiscing) Thanks for looking.
Sadam, I did not know of Tall Tales Bookshop but have found a link in the business section so will be phoning on Monday.Fingers crossed x Thanks for that.
Arana Negra, believe it or not I did get a pm from someone who works with CFM, they do have the record but I would not be able to take it away from there. At least I know they have one.....will keep requesting a track frequently 'til I've heard them all!:lol: Have been given a name for someone who used to work in Grampian Records so will try them. Grampian Records are of course defunct now.
For the pm's...thankyou too. Very helpful but until I can hopefully get my hands on a copy my mission is not yet done!
Thanks......
