Back on 8 October 2011, I started a series called ‘Saturday’s Scottish Single’. The aim was to feature one 45 or CD single by a Scottish singer or band with the proviso that the 45 or CD single was in the collection. I had got to Part 60-something and as far as Kid Canaveral when the rug was pulled out from under TVV.
I’ll catch up soon enough by featuring 5 at a time from the archives..
(16) Belle & Sebastian – Legal Man b/w : Judy Is A Dick Slap b/w Winter Wooskie : Jeepster CD Single (2000)

Enjoy!!
Cool! “From The Mission Bell” was one of only two Big Dish songs I didn’t have in my collection. Now I do! Thanks, TVV! 😀
I remember seeing Bis shortly after ‘Kandy Pop’ was a hit. I went with some mates who were punks and who heckled the band all night following the guitarist’s claim after the second song that: “Yeah, this is PUNK ROCK!”
Asking for trouble, if you ask me. They were as punk rock as Hello Kitty…
I had one of the Big Country -fields of fire picture discs, shaped like, what I presume was, a map of scotland. It was a bugger to play on the turntable.
