Another from Third Mind

Not much information about this short-lived band. Scottish indie pop / synth pop duo made up of brother / sister Mervyn & Heather Wright.

Heather later joined Beautiful Pea Green Boat. (I've shared their Still Life album on the first C'est la Mort post here.)

This is another rarity from the great Third Mind Records label.

God Said - Off the Plot, Third Mind Records TMLP23, 1988.

    Anything odd and Scottish I'll give a listen too, but you opened an old rabbit hole my friend. C'est la Mort. So, I've been looking through everything you've posted and checked that I have it. Then I looked on Discogs for the label releases info, and finally I'm back here with two requests.
    1. Future Neighbors – Flesh Of Love
    2. Grace Darling – Grace Darling

    Off topic I also spent a wee while searching Beautiful Pea Green Boat. A couple of old blogs have posted (some signposted by Systems Of Romance) but they're all dead and buried. What do you have hiding by Beautiful Pea Green Boat in your vast underpants (sorry, underground) of knowledge??
    Love AJ xx

      The two C'est la Mort items are holes in my list. I had the Grace Darling vinyl but a "friend" "borrowed" it & now I don't have it.

      As far as BPGB, the only other thing I have is Maremma & Other Stories from 1995. If you so desire, let me know & I'll share a link here.

      Thanks for the comment, AJ.

      Thankee for letting me know about the two missing C'est la Mort albums. Maybe our little conversation will open doors through other generous readers.
      If it so pleases you, I would be happy to receive some more BPGB.
      Thanx AJ xx

      PS. Off The Plot is a wee smasher of an album. I wonder if I have the backup disc space for a journey down Third Mind Records?

      I'll dig it out & post a link here later today. Another "generous reader" Frenz of NSS Richard (who has often shared from his collection before) has left a link to Grace Darling in a comment below. Thanks for the comment & I too have thought of diving down the Third Mind rabbit hole but have so far not pursued it.
