Another classic Sticky Music release that is nearly impossible to find information on today. All of the tracks listed above are guesses except for the opening title track. The Victors are a Scottish band described as Reggae Rock Blues – and that kind of works. Fans of quirky New Wave will probably also enough this as well. And while Reggae is one of the major styles on this tape, there are songs like what I have called “Stand Up and Fight” that rock out as a full on alternative rock/new wave barn burner. I’m also not sure who all was in this band – apparently DB McGlynn was, some future members of The Electrics as well, David McRoberts on bass, and Alan Cameron (keyboards?). But there are probably others as well.

Missing Information: Who played on this? What are the song titles? Also need a can of the j-card and tape.
