Not only, but also...

One of the earliest and definitely the most influential bands of the Scottish indiepop scene of the early 80s. Upbeat tunes, the obligatory jangle of guitars, and the reflective, sweetly melancholic lyrics that came to be characteristic of the entire indiepop genre. The influence of the band can be traced all over, with covers by The Wedding Present, Secret Goldfish and Aztec Camera, and obvious influence over BMX Bandits, The Pastels, Teenage Fanclub, and in fact the entire set of C86 bands.

Lineup

The original band members were:

• Edwyn Collins (vocals and guitar)
• James Kirk (vocals)
• David McClymont (bass)
• Steven Daly (drums)

(James Kirk's name, being so close to James T. Kirk, is made light of by David Gedge of The Wedding Present in the intro to their cover of Felicity: "This one's a William Shatner number." This also provides yet another reason why Orange Juice make a formidable card in a game of Pop Trumps.)

Though the band never officially disbanded, Edwyn Collins has been pursuing, off and on, a moderately successful solo career, which gave us the album Gorgeous George, and the 1995 hit single A Girl Like You. More recently, he's also been collaborating, as indeed have many others, with Vic Godard.

The Very Best Of... (Postcard Records/Polydor, 1992)

Postcard Records was reinstated in 1992 to put out this compilation of the early 7" singles the band released on that label, and stayed round long enough to release a few singles by The Nectarine No. 9 and surprise, surprise, Vic Godard. Also possibly Edwyn's solo stuff, but I can't seem to find my copies to check... :-(

A beverage obtained by squeezing oranges.

In its primal, freshly squeezed state, orange juice is a tonic to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, it's most often drunk after being processed, pasteurized, homogenized, concentrated, bottled, and reconstituted, not necessarily in that order. Still an excellent source of nourishment, consumer-product OJ lacks the richness and fullness of flavor intrinsic to the handcrafted variety. It loses a substantial fraction of its vitaminiferous goodness, as well.

The nutritional analysis below of "raw" (unprocessed) orange juice was obtained from the nutrient database at http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/ for 100 grams of juice. The average single fruit yields 86 grams, and 248 grams fit into a volume of 1 cup. This should provide some insight into why the stuff is so powerful: one small glass contains about three oranges' worth of juice.

Data is also available for various varieties of processed juice; water and carbohydrate contents are similar to the raw but vitamins and minerals fall far short. Orange juice is known for having a lot of vitamin C, but if you're not getting your juice straight from the orange, you're missing out on full doses of that and a whole bunch of other healthful things.
