Rather than attempting to emulate the spiked artiness of debut Scared To Dance, the bold historical statement of Days In Europa or the polished intensity of The Absolute Game, Jobson wisely went with big anthems, stirring choruses, vigorous backing vocals and rousing slogans, and with Destination Düsseldorf, it’s in many ways more of the same. However the hope is that new fans will come along for the ride and love this and discover the back catalogue. This is a more introspective track which mirrors the toll that the sheer longevity of Jobson’s career must take; ‘On and on and on it goes, don’t stop, do it again’. With there being, sadly, no Stuart Adamson, the best best thing is his Big Country Guitar partner, Bruce Watson and you have to say that Watson takes on the Adamson Skids role wonderfully, at times it could be Stuart playing. It's not like he didn't say "Stuart Adamson is the Skids" in a radio interview (which DD sets out to prove with near-Herculean resolve.

I still listen to Days In Europa regularly, my love of the band and Be Bop Deluxe insists on that album being my favourite, but The Absolute Game is just as great. Green Vinyl will be exclusively available at the live launch event and within a few very limited bundles.Coming across like some deranged motivational speaker, our budding wordsmith is clearly a man in a hurry on this hilariously awful but curiously infectious album (and the last one wasn't exactly Bob Dylan. Online since 2010 it is one of the fastest-growing and most respected music-related publications on the net. Tidal Wave" that follows is better, bigger and closer to the Skids Braveheart "In Tae Tha Vallea" style of punk sophistication, this is a real contender for the best track here crown. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

Following "Destination Dusseldorf" was always going to difficult but "Here We Go Again" with its driving marching drumbeat and sparse guitarwork works is another that has me wanting to dance although the unnecessary coda has me thinking the track has ended and I'm listening to something different. It's not like he even sings any tracks from the last album (perhaps because it gets in the way of talking.

Last Night From Glasgow's own site is best as they have all the formats and different coloured vinyl versions. One of the first bands to tear up the basic punk template and take things in completely different directions, they produced three outstanding albums and a string of memorable singles (including the mighty Into The Valley) prior to Adamson’s departure in 1981 to form the massively successful Big Country.

In March 2024 Destination Dusseldorf will be repressed on Transparent Ochre Vinyl in a limited run of 250.This new album follows in the footsteps of Days In Europa as a celebration of friendship and shared experiences.
