{"product_id":"stackridge-mr-mick-uk-cd","title":"Stackridge - Mr Mick (Uk) [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormed in Bristol in 1969, Stackridge were one of the most unique British bands of the era. Their initial line-up featured Andy Davis (guitar, keyboards, vocals), James Warren (guitar, vocals), James \"Crun\" Walter (bass), Michael \"Mutter\" Slater (flute, vocals), Michael Evans (violin) and Billy Bent (drums). Possessing a gift for melody, musicianship and a fine sense of humour and English eccentricity, their concerts were legendary. Throughout 1970 the honed their song writing and live act, appearing at the very first Glastonbury festival that year. In 1971, Crun Walter departed the band and James Warren assumed bass guitar duties. They signed to MCA Records and recorded their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, issued in August that year. Their second album, 'Friendliness', was issued in November 1972, the album and subsequent tours with fellow Bristol act The Pigsty Hill Orchestra and latterly Camel, gained the band more dedicated followers. The band's third album, 'The Man in the Bowler Hat' was produced by the legendary George Martin and was widely well received by critics and fans. Following the release of the album Stackridge underwent a series of line-up changes and signed to Elton John's newly established Rocket Records label, releasing the album 'Extravaganza' in 1975. The following year, they recorded their final album of the 1970s, the conceptual 'Mr Mick'. The original version of the album featured a story and narration and was rejected by Rocket Records and the band were forced to prepare a different version of the record for release in 1976. This Esoteric Recordings edition has been expanded to include the original version of the album as originally planned by the band. The release also features an illustrated booklet with an essay and exclusive band interviews.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold Me Tight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreakfast with Werner Von Braun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Steam Radio Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSave a Red Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Slater's Waltz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConiston Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHey!
