Fraser and Ian Bruce launched themselves late in 1979 and became a hugely popular duo in the 1980s. During that time they recorded three albums.

Fraser then left the music business to concentrate on his business while Ian went solo and then for a time as a duo with Ian Walker. This duo also disbanded but re-emerged in 2014 with a CD/DVD Born To Rottenrow on Greentrax.

Fraser and Ian united again early in 2015 and decided to compile this album from their early albums, plus a few live tracks.

Ian Bruce is an international touring artist while Fraser, as a solo artist, had a big following in the UK and Europe. Fraser is also an experienced festival and club organiser. Fraser and Ian, both fine singers, are about to embark on a considerable touring schedule.
