I was wondering if anybody has some information about a Scottish folk punk band called "We Free Kings" that released one LP ("Hell on Earth and Rosy Cross") and some EPs ("Oceans", "Death of the Wild Colonial Boy", "Still Standing") around 1987-1990.

Many thanks to MacRua for all the information.

I was thinking to buy some used vinyls by this band. Are they worth hearing? Which one would you pick?

um, no. I thought maybe you would use your internet skills to locate someone. I didn't know you were a psychic medium. :shock:

He was, but he shrank in the shower. Now he's just a psychic small. :wink:

I imagine MacRua, who is on the computer all day at work, actually works for Interpol. And he has top secret clearance. So he could pick up the trail of the person who owed my boss's client a very large money judgment and left the country, last known address: South Africa. But perhaps my imagination is just working overtime.... :)

I'm sorry, but under our new Industrial Relations Policy, we refuse to pay 'overtime' to our 'employees'. Your brain will just have to cope with its' meagre weekly stipend...

Well ... The Company (All Praise The Company) sent me to NYC for a week a month ago. But that's probably a different The Company (All Praise The Company) than you're thinking of.
