The McCalmans released their first Greentrax album "Peace and Plenty" in 1986, the year Greentrax Recordings was launched. It was awarded a Gold Disc by The Scottish Music Industry Association. 'The Macs' who had previously recorded with EMI and RCA, to name but two major labels, intended to give Greentrax the essential 'leg-up' for the then fledgling label but were so happy with the experience they stayed! This compilation has been specially selected by 'The Macs' and Managing Director Ian Green from the many albums the band has recorded for the label. The selection clearly indicates the huge repertoire of The McCalmans, plus the song-writing strength within the band, which has only experienced two changes in 45 years! The current lineup is Ian McCalman, Nick Keir and Stephen Quigg but the singing and playing of Hamish Bayne and the late Derek Moffat are included in this selection of 46 tracks. The McCalmans and Greentrax Recordings association has lasted 24 years. In the recording industry this is quite unique and illustrates a remarkable and lasting relationship between band and label, based on mutual respect.
