Big Country ORIG UK LP The crossing VG+ ’83 Mercury MERS 27 Textured sleeve
Original UK LP released in 1983 on Mercury Records. Cat: MERS 27. Comes in blue textured sleeve. Also has printed lyric inner bag which has some marks and is in VG+ condition.   With producer Steve Lillywhite at the helm, Scotland's Big Country managed to deliver earnest, socially conscious arena anthems in a similar vein to U2 and the Alarm. The twist was their trademark bagpipe sound, achieved through the use of E-Bow. The unique sound of "In a Big Country" garnered the band considerable attention and a Top 20 single in the U.S. The Crossing, however, is an album whose richness goes beyond the single. The more subdued "Chance" is sparser and its personal lyrics are every bit as heartfelt as the more populist-inclined anthems like the wonderful "The Storm" or the thundering "Fields of Fire."
