A 14-track celebration of Gun's classic hits and favourite songs - semi-acoustic versions of that have appeared over the years as full-on rock tracks. This double LP edition is available on red vinyl to celebrate the band's new partnership with Cherry Red Records. It is also available on CD, cassette and via digital formats. The songs feature all the current band's line-up plus some amazing backing vocals from Beverley Skeete And The Sisterhood, giving a gospel slant and an original spin to these rock classics. Barring 'Word Up', the other 13 songs were inspired by the sights and sounds of The Calton district in Glasgow's East End which has always been home to Jools and Dante from Gun. Recorded initially by Dante in his spare bedroom, the songs were completed after lockdown ended in January 2022 in Glasgow's Morsecode studios. A fitting journey as the boys fashioned their songwriting skills alongside former Gun lead singer Mark Rankin in their parent's spare bedroom just a stone's throw from Glasgow's famous Barrowland Ballroom.
