DUNDEE v UNITED ON RECORD

 

In 1962, Hector Nicol released a football themed single on the Scottish Gaelfonn record label.
The band accompanying him was The Kelvin Country Dance Band.
On one side it has The Dundee Song.
On the other side it has The Terrors Of Tannadice.
There is no official A & B side preference as such, so I'm displaying them in alphabetical order.
Of course, most Dundonians would have bought it for one side or the other, but I must admit, I rather enjoy both sides.
Dundee won the League in '62 and so their song has a kind of celebratory feel to it.
The United song has more of a defiant, motivational vibe to it, in their pre-tangerine days.
So if you've not heard them before, or not for a while, here they are below...
