Mist-Covered Mountains, Scots Guards 1950

Beautiful classic tune with a soaring tonality on pipes not heard in the minor key versions of other instruments. Played at JFK graveside and Queen Mother's funeral. From the stereo vinyl album "Scots Guards Pipes and Drums - Marches," one of the only recordings I know much before the mid to late 60's with excellent rock-steady tuning and light, intricate playing by a large band. Uses the old melodic style drumming from before the Alex Duthart era, pipe pitch much lower than today. You have to listen through online compression, heavily played vinyl and 50's hi-fi-stereo engineering, but it's a very powerful band sound. Mostly march-strathspey-reel-6/8 and street- & slow march sets. The recording was still being sold into the 1970's but I've never seen a CD print.
