Edinburgh Band "Win" (from the 80s)
Does anyone remember this band? More importantly, does anyone own their first album "Uh! Tears Baby (A Trash Icon)" on CD. I am desperately trying to get hold of it (yes, i`ve tried eBay).
They recorded a song for a McEwans lager advert in the 80s called "You`ve got the power" - if that helps ring any bells.
I have the cassette version but am looking for the CD so i can get it onto my iPod.
Any help appreciated (or MP3s).

I remember them very well. :D
`You`ve got the power` was a superb track.
I have the 12 inch vinyl somewhere at home,but I`ve had zero luck finding a CD or downloadable version I`m afraid. :/

Found a place selling vinyl versions

If I find a CD version I`ll let you know.
My `fee` will be you recording a CD-R of it for me !
:D

It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

Yup. :D
It was based on a painting where men are pushing large stone spheres around a never ending road.
A famous enough paintin I believe,but I forget the artist. :/
Brilliant ad.
Hipsway featured on another ad in the series,I think.
I`m sure it was their track `Tinder`.

There`s a scottish guy has a website in which he states he has the CD of the Win Album.
I`ve e-mailed him and asked if he`s willing to do me a CD-R.
You never know,he might live round the corner. :D
Should he reply and should he be willing I will burn you two a copy,if you wish.
I will let you know. 8)

The power of t`internet never fails to amaze me. 8)
I e-mailed the guy in Scotland who had a website mentioning the `Win` album.
Turns out he`s in Wisconsin these days,but is still willing to send me a free of charge CD-R in the post. :D :D
Might take a couple of weeks,but what the hell,I`m not complaining ! :D :D
He`s a gent and a scholar.
If either of you still want a copy,please e-mail me on refwob[at]ku.oc.liamtoh
Chin chin ! :D
