Hard work rarely brings its reward, whether in everyday life or music. That must have been how Stackridge felt in 1974.
After gigging solidly (300 plus gigs a year for three years) while recording three albums, three singles and at the same time shoe-horning in appearances on The Old Grey Whistle Test, the John Peel Show and Radio 1 In Concert, they found themselves, in the words of inimitable singer/flautist Mutter Slater, ‘becalmed and frustrated’.
All hopes were now pinned on the January 1975 release of 'Extravaganza' which was being released on the newly formed Rocket Record label -a happening place to be for one of England’s then brightest young bands. Sounds on publishing a review of the CD in early 1975 wrote 'Don’t ignore something too good to be missed. Stackridge are back. And happy days are here again'
