This live album was recorded in Aberdeen during Battlefield Band's Scottish tour in Spring 1989. It is made up of about a 50/50 split "old favourites" which are regularly asked for at concerts and new live, previously unrecorded, material. The CD runs to 70 minutes.

"The admirable Battlefield Band's first live album shows just why they have become Scotland's most consistent and popular band over recent years. A fertile musical imagination and a wealth of instrumental ability are married to a sturdy, gutsy style of performance. Good songs are combined with a style of presenting dance-tune medleys, which is second to none in its originality and instrumental variation." (THE GUARDIAN)
