Orange Juice - The Glasgow School flac album

Orange Juice was a Scottish post-punk band founded in the Glasgow suburb of Bearsden as the Nu-Sonics in 1976. Edwyn Collins formed the Nu-Sonics (named after a cheap brand of guitar) with his school-mate Alan Duncan and was subsequently joined by James Kirk and Steven Daly, who left a band called The Machetes. The band became Orange Juice in 1979. They are best known for the hit "Rip It Up", which reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1983, the band's only UK Top 40 hit.

Orange Juice fused new wave vibrancy with sun-dappled mid-1960s pop and disco. This duly occurred at early gigs, further abetted by a wardrobe that makes Orange Juice's most recent acolytes, Franz Ferdinand, look as normal as double glazing salesmen: plastic sandals, Davy Crockett-style coonskin hats, cravats, schoolboy shorts, Barbour jackets, knee-length cavalry boots, velvet and tweeds. Inevitably, perception of The Glasgow School has been changed by Collins' illness. For a brief and horrible moment, it looked as if an album intended to reaffirm Orange Juice's place among the pantheon of truly great British bands might become a memorial for their former leader. Now, with Collins apparently improving, it feels like a particularly potent get well soon message.
