		Greentrax Recordings was launched, funded solely by Ian's police pension.
		One of the aims of the Greentrax label was to help highly talented Scottish musicians and singers reach wider audiences, especially those who had not yet recorded.
		Greentrax continues to release a high percentage of debut albums, and several have won awards, including the BBC Radio Scotland/Living Tradition Album of the Year, 1994.

	Scottish Traditions
		Greentrax Recordings, in cooperation with the School of Scottish Studies, have re-released the first 15 recordings in the series on CD and cassette formats.
		Both of these recordings were collected in the 50s and early 70s and contain mostly simulated waulking, as many of the participants were quite elderly and the actual art is almost never practiced anymore.
		For this recording, the School of Scottish Studies chose to focus on the very highly ornamented singing style found on Lewis and by Lowland Scots who are descendants of Lewis folk.

	Various Artists, Gentle Giants
		Scotland's Greentrax Records has for many years actively supported Scottish musicians and culture, well beyond what would be expected of a record label's promotion of its artists.
		Robin Laing, well known inter alia for his recordings of songs about whisky (and his extensive knowledge of the beast), coordinated the work, and contributed an exhaustive and well researched fourteen-page introduction to the album, describing the history of the breed and its changing role as the industrial revolution reshaped Scotland's agricultural and industrial structures.
		Greentrax's Gentle Giants is a good example, like many of their releases, of a production which not only reflects the culture it represents, but which also helps to shape the quality and direction of contemporary Scottish music.

		The seven pibrochs included on this album were recorded 'live' on the evening of 30th.
		Greentrax Recordings and BBC Radio Scotland were allowed the facility to record this unique concert.
		For those who are new to pibroch, this recording should serve as a useful introduction to one of Gaeldom's most enduring art forms, played by pipers who are masters of both the music and the instrument.

	Ancient Lothian - Music - Skene Manuscript
		It belongs to a significant group of seventeenth-century lute manuscripts from various noble houses around Scotland, all of which constitute the earliest substantial body of transcriptions and arrangements of medieval Scottish secular music, and many of the tunes are still current within the folk tradition.
		The member of the Skene family who is generally associated with its compilation is John Skene of Hallyards, but according to D. James Ross, we should associate it with William Skene of Hallyards.
		Two other commercial recordings featuring material from the Skene Manuscript are by Ronn MacFarlane on the Dorian label and by Jakob Kindberg on the BIS label.

		While STORM FORCE TEN should have marked a new beginning for the band with the return of Martin Carthy and the addition of accordionist John Kirkpatrick, 1977 more accurately could be regarded as the beginning of the end of Steeleye Span's first reign (10 albums in 8 years).
		In addition to MacMaster's extremely fluid and precise technique and her devotion to the traditional Cape Breton fiddle tunes there are a few surprises here; most notably the bluegrass and erstwhile Texas swing favorite, "Beaumont Rag," performed in true swing fashion.
		FOR THE RECORD consists of re-recorded material from their previous recordings and serves both as a reminder of the fine music they created and as a welcome back to the fold as Lochshore has signed them to a new recording contract.

	various artists, The Best of Scottish Music, Vol. 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This release from Greentrax Recordings is an excellent mix that should hold appeal for listeners of a wide variety of Scottish music.
		The album was released to coincide with Greentrax's 15th anniversary as a recording company.
		It includes 20 tracks showcasing artists who have recorded for Greentrax in the past five years but had not been included on "previous similar showcase compilations." In effect, then, it isn't really "the best" of Scottish music, but rather "some of the best of the last five years." But hey...

		The original section is of course all my original studio recordings, and the compilation section contains those compilations subsequently made mainly out of those original recordings, in a mostly vain attempt to generate more income.
		Because I have recorded for most of my musical career with small independent labels, a lot of my recordings, especially the older ones, are long out of manufacture, and are pretty difficult to track down.
		This is a CD John and I recorded in Germany in 1984 for the Folk Freak label, and I've no idea if it's still available.

		Carlo Maria Giulini, the esteemed Italian conductor, an idealistic maestro acclaimed for his refined and insightful accounts of the standard orchestral repertory and for several now classic recordings of operas by Mozart and Verdi, died on Tuesday in Brescia in northern Italy.
		Still, some of his complete opera recordings are landmarks of the discography, including, on EMI Classics, a 1959 account of Mozart's "Nozze di Figaro" with Giuseppe Taddei in the title role, Anna Moffo as Susanna, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf as the Countess, and the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus.
		In Greentrax Recordings' latest newsletter, there is advance notice that James Ross will be releasing his debut album with Greentrax later this year.

	The Cottars - On Fire (Greentrax Recordings CDTRAX281)
		From their precocious debut album to this far more mature recording, The Cottars have come a long way in that brief time.
		Articulate is another way of looking at the band’s overall presentation in as much that Ciaran comes across as a young John Denver in his approach to singing whilst Fiona (and I still can’t believe she was only 14 when she recorded this album) has the maturity of one born for great things.
		As a reference I’d say that the group very much remind me of the Irish band Deanta but in the meantime, as a work in progress, The Cottars are steadily building on a reputation that hopefully, after they’ve all passed their exams will see them touring the world stages that await them.
