Writing On The Wall were a legendary Scottish underground Psych/Prog band whose explosive live reputation rivaled the early UK heavyweights of the late ’60s / early ’70s
From Edinburgh soul rebels to theatrical Psychedelic warriors, they were signed to the Middle Earth label, releasing their sole album, “The Power Of The Picts,” in 1969.
Sadly, despite critical praise, major live popularity and opportunities to break internationally, the band’s career became trapped in management disputes, failed label deals and bad luck, leaving much of their finest material unreleased for decades. This compilation gathers some of that material: their killer non-LP “Lucifer Corpus / Child On A Crossing” 45; early Psych stuff including the rare Jury acetate; the 7-minute Mellotron fuelled “Buffalo” and rare TV broadcast recordings.
