The Live Bootleg Box Set 1993-1998. Formed out of the ashes of Scottish punk band Skids by their guitarist Stuart Adamson, BIG COUNTRY became one of the biggest British alternative rock bands of the 1980s, with a huge reputation as a live band to rival the likes of U2 and Simple Minds. After their initial success with a string of albums on Mercury Records, Big Country continued throughout the 1990s with new albums on a variety of labels, playing as ever around the world to their devoted fanbase. Sadly, Stuart’s untimely death in 2001 closed a chapter on Big Country’s story forever… WE’RE NOT IN KANSAS pays tribute to the tour de force that was Big Country in the Nineties, with recordings of five live shows released officially for the very first time and with the full blessing of the band.
