Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Formed by ex-Skids guitarist Stuart Adamson in 1981 with old friend Bruce Watson and, from 1982, rhythm section Tony Butler and Mark Brzezicki, Big Country offered a unique blend of punk, new wave, and new romantic elements infused into heavy, meaning-laden pop/rock with a passionate Celtic slant and fierce integrity. Adamson and Watson's chiming guitars, enhanced by effects, creatively mimicked traditional Scottish instruments, setting them apart and proving highly influential. The Seer, released in 1986, features the group's biggest UK hit single, "Look Away," a quintessential 80s rock anthem. The album, reaching No. 2 in the UK charts and the Billboard Top 60, showcases Stuart Adamson's maturation as a songwriter, exploring Scottish history with a melody-rich sound. Notably, the album includes a guest appearance by Kate Bush on the title track, underscoring Big Country's esteemed reputation in the music industry.
