Stackridge Man In The Bowler Hat CD

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition. Formed in Bristol in 1969, Stackridge were one of the most unique British bands of the era. The band's third album, 'The Man in the Bowler Hat' was produced by the legendary George Martin and is widely regarded as one of their finest works featuring material such as 'The Road to Venezuela', 'The Last Plimsoll', 'Dangerous Bacon' and the evocative 'God Speed The Plough'. This Esoteric Recordings edition has been expanded to include an additional CD which features all the recordings made by Stackridge for the BBC in 1973, including a performance for the Radio One In Concert programme in January 1973 and four tracks recorded for a Bob Harris show session in February 1973. The release features an illustrated booklet with exclusive band interviews and an essay by Mike Barnes.
