V.A. Scottish Kultchur (1979)

An obscure '79 compilation that features rarities by true Scotsmen(and women!) like The Rezillos (more HERE!) Boots for Dancing (more HERE), Future Waterboy Mike Scott's Another Pretty Face (see here) and The Cheetas (see here).



The comp jerks from pub-rock, to post-punk, to power-pop to mod to synth-pop to make sure it gives good report of the Scottish musical Kulthcur of its time.


Rezilos fans need to note that these otherwise-unavailable takes of "Getting Me Down" and "Good Sculptures are from a VERY early version of the band and have a way more more pub-rock feel.
