Formed in Bristol in 1969, STACKRIDGE were one of the most unique British bands of the era. Possessing a gift for melody, musicianship and a fine sense of humour, their concerts were legendary. The band appeared at the very first Glastonbury festival and soon after signed to MCA Records. A succession of wonderful albums in the 1970s earned the band a loyal following but following line-up changes and the of the album 'Mr. Mick' they disbanded. It was therefore a pleasant surprise when in 1999 the album 'Something for the Weekend' was released. Sporadic reunions followed and a mini-album via the Stackridge website, 'Lemon', also appeared, but in 2008 Stackridge returned with a masterpiece, the excellent album 'A Victory for Common Sense' (which featured original members James Warren, Andy Davis, Mutter Slater and Jim InchCrunInch Walter). Produced by Chris Hughes, the album received excellent critical reviews. Stackridge continued to tour, but by 2015 both Mutter Slater and Crun Walter had departed. On 19th December 2015 Stackridge made their farewell performance at a concert in Bristol (for which they were joined by guest Mutter Slater), which was recorded and later released as the double album 'The Final Bow'. This collection gathers together the albums 'Something for the Weekend', the 'Lemon' mini- album, 'A Victory for Common Sense' and 'The Final Bow Bristol 2015'. It also features additional bonus tracks such as the 2006 re-recording of 'Purple Spaceships Over Yatton', 'Seek and You Will Find' and both songs from the rare 'Dummies' CD single. Album Tracks 1. It's a Fascinating World 2. Ruth, Did You Read My Mind
