Hamish Imlach - Ramensky

Taken from the vinyl album, "Before And After", which has been out of print for many years.
Uploaded because the only other video of this track available, has clearly been recorded at the wrong speed.
I don't own any music or images in this video and all credits and copyright belongs to the owners.
Posted as a tribute to a wonderful musician.
Please try and support Hamish's family by buying his books, CDs and DVDs wherever possible.

My father addested Ramensky in Paisley. He had no choice not to do it...-- Ramensky.. was in front of the Woolworth's safe. But Daddy was so o0ad that he had to do it! to do it!

[@johngordon1576]

My grandfather, a senior detective in Aberdeen was part of the team that had Ramensky arrested for the Mitchell & Muil Bakery safe blowing in the late thirties in Aberdeen. The safe had double takings as it was a Bank Holiday and the detectives took one look at the safe and knew that only three Scottish safe blowers could have done it and they all lived in Glasgow. So they got the Glasgow Police to check who was at home and who was missing...it was Ramensky. Knowing there was only one train that had gone from Aberdeen to Glasgow that day, they had the Perth Police board the train and arrest Ramensky who they found with the cash in a small suit case on his lap.

I don’t know what happened to the live version, where an old Imlach was singing in a pub. It was awesome.

[@JohnMinehan-lx9ts]

Unfortunately, Imlach did not live long enough to be "old.
