They quickly developed a driving, melodic sound that balanced a love of 60s pop with a moody, almost post-punk edge that fit right in with fellow Scottish pop bands like The Pastels and Jesse Garon \u0026amp; The Desperadoes, as well as the bands coming from labels like Creation and Dreamworld. The Catburgers played often and enthusiastically throughout 1986 and 1987, recording demos that kept the gig offers coming and led Dan Treacy to invite the band to record a single for Dreamworld. Alas, that single didn't materialize at the time and while the band continued to write and play, shifting tastes and work obligations led to the band splitting in 1990, but not before making the recordings that would become \"Galashiels.\" Songs like \"I've Got a Friend\" and \"The First Day of Spring\" are thrilling, bursting with youthful enthusiasm and solid gold tunes, the kind of songs that would have been on a thousand mixtapes if released at the time. The mood turns darker on the back end of the record, reflecting the band’s post-punk roots. What's really striking is the strength of the song-writing throughout. The Catburgers had a real way with a tune and it feels like a genuine gift to be hearing \"Galashiels\" almost 40 years later.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI've Got a Friend\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoliday House\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChildren's TV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe First Day of Spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Summer of Love\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm Leaving on the 7:52\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDarkness Before Dawn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Frightened Girl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing to Live For\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you for looking at our listing, below are a few points to consider before making a purchase:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- All records we sell are Brand New - pre-orders will normally come sealed but if you are purchasing in stock items, please note the copy may have been unsealed for display in the shop.
