Notes: A return to the reasons why we started. The first disc is hopefully what you would expect from the new BiG record. Disc 2 is a range of styles other than Ska/Reggae we hope you will nonetheless enjoy. Disc 2 charts a story using the material of disc 1.

Release date: June 2004

Notes: Tears at the Dover was a reaction to the way so many great Ska bands working at that time had been recorded, i.e. too clean. So we went rough. On the back of this recording we have been able to tour the U.K. and Europe.

Release date: September 2002

Notes: This was our first attempt at recording ourselves, which gave us the time to try some new things and also taught us a lot of what (and what not) to do. With a full brass section, our sound was beginning to develop into the ska.

Release date: March 2000

Notes: Electric Folk, Ska and a bit of punk was the original concept of The BiG, which can be heard here on this quite raw recording. This sound disapeared very quickly as we realised that there was hardly anyone into Ska done different. Or it just wasn't very good! Recorded in 3 days on a farm in mid-devon.
