I still own the Big Country album...I'm talking VINYL. I got it for my 13th birthday. This was also when MTV had just started, so the "Big Country" video was in rotation like 80 times a day. It felt like back in 1984 MTV had about 10 videos that they just kept playing over and over and over. "Mexican Radio" is another one I remember. Ah, the glory days of MTV, alllllll viiiiideos. What a concept.

How can you have a greatest hits album if you've only had one hit? Maybe this is intended for the international market?

I still have Big Country's first album on LP too. It's really not that bad. It's indisputably better than The Dream Syndicate's first album.

Big Country is back in the news. It's not pleasant at all.

I know...I remember dating someone in college who considered them to be better than U2 at the time...they certainly had a great sound, and they remain at the top of my fave 80s bands.
