UK only, 2006, 15 track best of compilation by this cult British band who
formed at the tail end of the `60s and achieved their greatest success in
the hedonistic `70s. Main songwriters/vocalists James Warren and Andy Davis
split Stackridge in the late `70s and formed The Korgis. Since then, there
have been the occasional Stackridge reunions and shows. Held dear by fans
for their irreverent, idiosyncratic attitude and musical eclecticism,
STACKRIDGE formed in 1969. Studio debut `Stackridge` was produced in 1971
and some 7 albums in total were released over the next 30 years from which
all of these tracks were drawn except `Purple Spaceships` which has been
revisited. When Stackridge cut these songs, the prevailing musical climate
encouraged freedom and creativity. This is the first time a `Best Of` has
ever been released and the songs freshness and diversity remains engaging.
