mp3 : The Bathers (featuring Elizabeth Fraser) - The Angel On Ruskin
It's from a damn near impossible to find 1995 CD....unless you're prepared to pay very silly money. I had a copy once....can't find the damn thing....it's either loaned out or lost. So a huge thanks to Friend of Rachel Worth, the very fine chap who resides in the Cathedrals of Sound, for helping me out when I asked.
There was a stunning live performance for an arts programme on Scottish Television way back:-
In 2001, Chris Thomson went into the studio and re-recorded a whole bundle of tunes by The Bathers for a compilation LP, including this:-

There's a rather wonderful website about The Bathers. Click Here. I'll warn you in advance though.....you'll spend ages enjoying its contents

Lovely tune, never heard that before. Thanks JC
Same as Drew. Like it very much. Cheers.
Same again.
Prefer the re-recorded version out of the 2.
Thanks for posting this. I had forgotten about The Bathers.
Liz Fraser's voice is as beautiful and mesmerising as always. Lovely.

Always loved them. Lucky to have caught them live, years ago in London. Saw Mr Thomson come on and do a few Friends Again numbers with James Grant at the Burns Festival when I was in Scotland back in June, day after landing from Sydney. Mr Grant even dedicated 'State of Art' to me. What a privilege. Just wish Chris Thomson would release some more material.
