Pick Of The Crop


A forgotten English band that failed commercially Stackridge were nevertheless an interesting footnote in British Rock history of the 1970's. Orginally called Stackridge Lemon (the Lemon was soon dropped !) their classic line up released three LP's from 1971 until 1973, Stackridge, Friendliness and The Man In The Bowler Hat which is where today's post can be found. The music was often a mixture of English Music Hall, Folk, Pop and Jazz mixed together with a West Country feel. They are famous for playing at the first ever Glastonbury Festival in 1970 and this writer cannot forget their first appearence on the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1973 when they performed this song.
