A VICTORY FOR COMMON SENSE 
Release Date: July 2009 

 In 1969 a disparate band of young musicians found common ground in the Bristol/Bath musical stew and gathered together in a group called 'Stackridge Lemon'.  With a flow of changing line-ups, finally by late 1970 'Stackridge' were Andy Davis, James Warren, 'Mutter' Slater, 'Crun' Walter, Mike Evans and Billy Sparkle. 

Already their somewhat eccentric mix of witty, often poignant lyrics, memorable melodies, extended instrumental passages and self-effacing stage presentation caught the attention of the music press and live gig circuit.  

It was this line-up that constantly toured the U.K. for the next three years, slowly building a fanatical following and releasing 3 Albums on M.C.A Records: the eponymous 'Stackridge', followed by 'Friendliness' and then in 1974 the George Martin produced 'The Man in the Bowler Hat'. 

With this triumphant masterpiece, regarded by many to be George Martin's finest creation outside of his Beatles canon, the band seemed to be poised to make the final breakthrough to the upper echelons of stardom already attained by  contemporaries such as Genesis and Supertramp. 

Alas it was not to be. Cracks began to appear in their once tight-knit family and the original Stackridge imploded. 

A succession of line-up changes confused both public and music critics alike. Despite sleek performances it, perhaps lost the charm of the original band.  
Mishandled and misunderstood by their new Record Label (Elton John's Rocket Records) and misdirected by a new management team, the band did record two more critically acclaimed albums, 'Extravaganza' and 'Mr. Mick' before finally splitting up in 1976.  

Press "Pause": 

Going their separate ways, the individuals continued to make music during the 1980s and 90s, 

James Warren and Andy Davies gaining noticeable success as Electro-Pop Balladeers, The Korgis - with two hit singles including the Warren-penned 'Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime'.
