Jimmy Shand and His Band O'er The Border CD

O'er the Border" was the first 12" LP recorded by Jimmy Shand, having previously produced a distinguished series of 78s,
singles and 10" LPs. It was recorded at Leeds University in 1958 on the occasion of the Fifth Festival of Scottish Dancing
held by the Leeds Scottish Country Dance Club. Featuring nine full length dances, it captures the vibrant atmosphere of the
evening. The music is bright and infectious and gives a taster of what it was like to have attended a dance led by Jimmy Shand
and his Band. This parlophone recording has been digitally enhanced for CD and re-released for the enjoyment of a new generation
and for the nostalgic reminiscences of those, somewhat older, who remember the record when it was first released. A large
number of LPs, EPs and singles followed, making Jimmy Shand one of the most recorded artistes of all time. Whether for listening
pleasure or for dancing, the tempo of this music is bound to satisfy all enthusiasts of Scottish dance music at its best.
