If you are a Big Country fan, then you must buy this. It's that simple. Big Country is my favorite band of ALL TIME! First of all, it's remastered. So, the sound quality is "new and improved". Second, there are bonus tracks worth having that I haven't found on any other Big Country cd's that I own (except for a live version of "Angle Park"). The song "The Crossing" is one of the bonus tracks. I think they left it off the original release back in the day because it's very "European/early 80s" sound. I love the track. Another bonus track is "All Fall Together". I think this song is essentially "Giant" with lyrics...great track regardless. As true Big Country fans know, I'm preaching to the converted. For those that aren't familiar with Big Country and you are over 30, you may recall a song back in the early 80s that had a slight bagpipe sound in it called "In A Big Country". This album has that song on it.Read full review
80's Bands were filled with "one hit wonders". But Big Country was a "one album wonder". If you like early U2 or the Alarm, check out these boys from Scotland. The truly unique sounds and gripping lyrics are a cornerstone album for me. It marks a time when music began to grow from pop/new wave to more of a thought provoking genre that was pre-grunge. There really is no dog on this album. Radio made "In a big country" and "Fileds of Fire" famous...but you must give songs like "Chance" "the Storm" and "Porrohman" a listen to truly get a sense of this bands talent. Unfortunately I don't think they every captured the same magic...but hey...when you make an album this good...you have left a mark in the music industry. You won't be dissapointed in this one.Read full review

The master of story teller's through his epic music, Stuart Adamson was one of the greatest musical masters of our time. He was a true seer. Few grasp his message of the teachings. Rest in peace my brother, your spirit lives on! Love and Peace for eternity... See you on the other side :-)
I hear the "In a Big Country" song on the radio and had to have it. This CD was great with a few songs on it that I have really learned to like a lot!
