Rab Noakes Do You See The Lights? - Rab's first album, released in 1970, is now available on CD. Please order through the Neon site or call James on 0141 429 6366 or mail@go2neon.com. Do You See The Lights? is also available to download from the Neon shop. The album was made available online on the 25th January, on the 38th anniversary of the original recording session. Due to the conditions of the licence deal the album is downloadable in full only - I'm afraid individual tracks are not available. Unlimited Mileage, the latest album from Rab & The Varaflames is now available. It features a collection of songs spanning a wide timeframe recorded with two separate Varaflames line-ups. You can hear sample tracks by clicking on the Jukebox link at the top of the page, and it can be purchased online from the Neon shop. A press release for Unlimited Mileage is available to download by clicking here (PDF format).
