♫ JIMMY SHAND'S PARTY ♫

[@cribpointcritter]

I grew up with this very record, I remember it well.

[@chriserbeck2699]

I did too, I was born in Scotland when my father was stationed there. My folks picked this record out before they were transferred. My Great-Grandfather Shand was from Aberdeen.

[@chrigaud]

Me too, my father bought when working in Nigeria at the end of 50's

[@gregtaylor8327]

[@daviddey6919]

The great Syd Chalmers on fiddle, enjoyed dancing to Syd and The Rob Gordon band for many years. Rob and his band made many an evening memorable

[@judithbettridge7074]

Bought this record about 60 years ago and haven,t anything to play it on now so it's great to hear it again.

[@superbellabeau]

I inherited this record from my Scottish Dad and Gran. 😊💗

[@Cahgado1]

I grew up listening to this record... in Portugal !

[@TheDurbanitejoller]

I can identify with that. I grew up with this record in South Africa.

[@cribpointcritter]

My maiden name was Lindsey or some spell it Lindsay . which is very Scottish. My mothers background was Scotch-Irish.My grandfather, uncle and father all played the fiddle so I know this kind of music well.love it.

[@shandfan]

The PMD LP's show the maestro in his HEYDAYS,..they were the very best recordings!!! And yes....quoting bsam20uk....:"This never gets old".

[@glynlandrey8343]

Can anyone remember a tune played by Jimmy Shand Snr where the participants danced a jig that involved "broomsticks" ? this jig involved pairs (normally husband and wife) swinging their legs over the each end of the broomstick ? I know this sounds rather odd but I can assure you in the 1950's this was so much fun. If anyone can help this would be great.

[@donaldsauter]

Produced by George Martin of Beatles fame.

[@TheDurbanitejoller]

What year was this record produced?

[@derekafarmer]

Hi Frank. The family knew Jimmy quite well during the 1960's and '70's I think that this LP compered by Archie McCullough was released in the early 1960's. I played 2nd accordeon (and hawaiian steel guitar... but not at the same time !!!) with my cousin Dave Smith in the East Neuk Scottish Country Dance Band..I think there is still some archive footage in BBC Scotland of our broadcasts. Jimmy was a guest at Dave's wedding many moons ago !

[@camcambocamshaft]

derekafarmer I would think this LP was released pre 1959, as I've found a Peter Sellers LP with a catalog number PMD 1069 released in February 1959!! It is as good a guess for this LP!!

[@littleshoemaker]

1950, according to the Jimmy Shand website. I wonder if it's been issued on CD in full.

[@shandfan]

On his 10" LP's there are no statements of the year of recording,must have been early 50s The latest Stereo Parlophones(12") have this indication,as have the later SZLP items.

[@littleshoemaker]

Thanks. Shame I don't think this has been on CD?

[@arturodonelli3813]

But they can drink a lot

[@ColinCampbellhaggis]

Boy. Those guys cannot sing.

[@ColinCampbellhaggis]

+Colin Campbell They don't have to. They are bloody good with accordians.

[@shandfan]

The cannot sing OR they have world fame in singing. No in between way seemingly.
