Thanks for the numbers The Shed (i hope Arabphobia is ok with you giving me those numbers btw 😏).

Fun Fact, none of the original line up were born in Scotland.
 

I don't think that's true Mr B.

Pete and Alan Wishart were both in the original line-up I'm sure.

I'll bow to your superior knowledge here, but maybe it related to the 4 in the band when they made it big...

Googled mid post, the Wisharts left in 1981, the band hit it big in 83.......

So you're right, but it seems they weren't really part of the band for long.
