After 4 full length CD`s, numerous CD singles, EP`s, vinyl 45`s, compilation tracks, and tribute album tracks, Stratocruiser has culled 16(plus 5 new ones) of their finest tracks to serve as the perfect primer to the band`s blend of power pop colored with dollops of creamy classic rock and incendiary garage-rock sounds. Stratocruiser has, through cajoling, intimidation, blackmail and extortion secured the rights to all their recordings from their former labels and thus can now release this collection with a smattering of remastering and audio tweaking. Also, tacked on are 5 BRAND NEW SONGS from the band that show further growth as artists and indeed as big burly men. "Ok, Class"`s new songs were all recorded at the bands own studio with more tasty keyboard work by Peter Holsapple. The new tracks break new ground for the band from the melodic sludgery of "Vanilla Sunday" to the minor key edginess of "New Glasses". Rock and roll rave-ups like the title track and and "That Phone Call" (the end title song to the indie film Hellphone) show the band stripping down its sound from their usual bombastic, thick, gloppy rock to showcase raw guitars and a sneering punkiness. Crunchy guitars do abound but also in abundance are amazing vocals and melodies, harmonies and driving rock solid rhythms. Clay Howard`s voice invoke Pat Dinizio, Robin Zander and even Neil Diamond a bit. "full of crunchy rock riffs and sweet pop melody following in the heavy power pop footsteps of Aerosmith, Badfinger and especially Cheap Trick. A great album, that will sound even better in the car with the windows down, played loud. No duds here! So get this now and enjoy!" - PowerPopAHolic Blog. It is time for Stratocruiser to gather up their best, their faves `n finest and present them in one huge 21 track package.
