Jim Wilkie The Waxer (Ridge Records)

When Glasgow's CaVa Studios downsized (after being Scotland's go-to recording hub in the 1980s) the proprietors were careful to contact all of those whose crafted work nestled in its archives (rather than shovelling everything into a skip, as has happened elsewhere).

Studio engineer Brian Young went one step further with journalist Jim Wilkie and has helped him remake and remaster the album he made as an aspiring singer/songwriter in the late 1970s, before he went off to help Brian Wilson (the MP not the Beach Boy) found the West Highland Free Press.
