Stackridge - Sex And Flags CD : Release Information

Stackridge - Sex And Flags. CD. (Angel Air - SJPCD205) A welcome compilation of the later recordings (since their 1997 reunion) of this most quirkily English, eccentric, melodic and idiosyncratic of prog bands, formed in Bath in 1970 and closest in style to a folksier Bonzos. Founded by James Warren and Lennon lookalike Andy Davis (yes, the chaps that scored skinny tie New Wave hits in the late 70s as The Korgis), they ploughed a suitably odd furrow throughout the prog era, and their reformation some 27 years later produced some equally excellent music, following the same mixture of melodic flair and utter absurdity. Both latter-period albums 'Something For The Weekend' and 'Lemon' are represented here in this fine cross section of tracks, including 'Sliding Down The Razorblade Of Love' 'Something About The Beatles' (which sounds closer to the Fab Four than one might think possible) and 'Wildebeeste'. Sleevenotes by Record Collector/ Classic Rock scribe Michael Heatley.
