Career
Original copies of the album, which was reportedly only available in France, are known to be very expensive, and it was not until 2005, when Rev-ola Records issued it, that it was available on compact disc. In 2010 Elefant Records re-issued the album as a deluxe edition with newly recorded songs written in the late 1960s, demos of the originals and a short book written by the artist. Garrie was never commercially successful in the English-speaking world, though his second album, Suitcase Manitoba, peaked at Number 1 in Spain.
They have co-written a number of songs.
In 2009 Elefant Records put out a collection of Garrie"s new songs entitled 49 Arlington Gardens, recorded with Scottish musicians in Glasgow, including Duglas T. Stewart (BMX Bandits), Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Francis Macdonald (Teenage Fanclub) and Ally Kerr (singer/songwriter). In recent years Garrie has played Shepherd"s Bush Empire (with Camera Obscura), Celtic Connections (Glasgow), Tanned Tin (Barcelona), Tonic (New York), L"International (Paris), Lemonpop, Easypop and Felipop (Spain) and Altafidelidad (Madrid and Barcelona).
