We were keen to  try and talk to some of artists involved in the making of some of the very best Scottish albums that make our final  ‘greatest’ list.

One of those albums was Rip It Up by Orange Juice (a semi-finalist, and we were therefore delighted to be joined by their (and many other great bands) guitarist, Malcolm Ross.

Malcolm talked with fondness about how exciting music wasaround that time and gave us some lovely recollections, including being in two great bands in the space of 12 hours, recording the album in Soho London surrounded by goths, and of course making it onto Top Of The Pops. (and that infamous 2nd appearance!)

We also collectively agreed that the album has aged verywell, and is fully deserving of the recognition it is now getting.

Big thanks to Malcolm and check out the album if you haven’tfor a while. It might surprise you.

Enjoy and stay safe
