CD / Mini-lp
Paper-Sleeve Original mini-vinyl artwork
(paper only - no plastic).
- Includes the smash hit 'Why Did
You Do It?' - plus a bonus track
featuring the maxi single version
of the song.
- Booklet with authoritative and
extensive liner notes by respected
author and journalist Chris Welch.
- Expertly remastered - superb
sound. Stretch, a powerful and talented British rock group from the mid-1970s, showcased the
charismatic lead singer Elmer Gantry (of Velvet Opera fame). The group impressed many critics
and were once rated as the 'greatest blues and boogie band of the era'. (It's even said they
once blew Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow off stage during a major concert tour!)
'Elastique' was their debut album. Produced by Martin Rushent, it included their only hit single
'Why Did You Do It?'
Here are ten elasticised performances - including the traditional blues 'Buzz Fly' and the roaring
'Miss Dizzy' and 'Snakes Alive' - that stretch the talents of Elmer, guitarist Kirby and their
rubberised rhythm section to the max.

Did You Do It?' TRACKLISTING:
