I have  friend who is trying to locate a recording by
Jim Cameron  of Scottish Traditional Dances, an LP on the Ace of Clubs label.
Does anyone on the list have ideas and suggestions?

If you log into this site
http://www.musicinscotland.com/acatalog/index.html

and type "Jim Cameron" into the "search words" section and check the dot 
below is before the word "all" then hit enter you will see a list of 67 
results.  Result no 5 (plus others)  give the name Jim Cameron. clicking on 
Jim's name will bring up details of all his recordings on CD, including LP's 
remastered.  You may find what you are looking for there as seven are 
listed.

I believe the record may be ACLM 1081 COME SCOTTISH DANCING Folk Dances of 
Scotland. Jim Cameron's Scottish Dance Band

Brouns Reel
La Russe
Strip the Willow
Scottish Reform
Isle of Skye
Waltz Country Dance
Pride of Erin
Glasgow Highlanders
Dundee Reel
Hamilton House

All are transfers from 78 rpm records and are not full dances - Brouns reel 
is 5x32 + 8bars for example.

All are remastered on Ross Records CD CDGR174 Jim Cameron's Scottish Dance 
Band Vol 1(www.rossrecords.com) together with 10 other tracks ex 78 records. 
Ross have also issued Vol 2 & 3 (CDGR175 and CDGR185) with another 36 tracks 
from Jim Cameron.

I have also seen a 10" LP -not Ace of Clubs I think - with the Lancers, Gay 
Gordons, Broun's Reel 10x32 and the Eightsome. I do not have further details 
of this one.
