Synopsis

Album Description

Stackridge can claim a small but significant piece of history as the group that opened the very first Glastonbury Festival in 1971. They hadn't far to travel, hailing as they did from nearby Bristol. Founder members James Warren and Andy Davis put the band on hold in the late 70's and went on to find greater fame as The Korgis. However Stackridge reformed in the late 90's and one album was released 'Something For The Weekend' with a further mini album 'Lemon' released in 2003 but until now only available from the bands website. 'Sex and Flags' contains tracks drawn from the 1997 to 2003 period. Includes sleeve notes written by Michael Heatley. Angel Air. 2005.

CD Reviews

The Late? Great Stackridge...

D. S. Crommie | Portland, Oregon | 12/29/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Following rather behind their excellent 1998 reunion (of sorts) "Something for the Weekend" comes "Sex & Flags", a reissue (more or less) of an EP available from their website a few years back called "Lemon" - presumably from the original name of the band (Stackridge Lemon - shortened to Stackridge) in 1969. This album finds all of the original members minus drummer Billy Sparkle and violinist Mike Evans on the same album for the first time in years - Mutter Slater & Andy Davis were notably absent for SFTW. I must say, this is a really satisfying slice of almost everything Stackridgian: wonderful songs, cool production and a typically eclectic bunch of styles. Big Baby sounds like something from The White Album with hilarious lyrics, Charles Louis Dance sounds like something off Andy Davis' Clevedon Pier album, Beating A Path is an epic piece of music from Mutter Slater and Wonderful Day is a breezy number by Crun Walter. This also includes several songs from SFTW, as the EP was rather shorter - but they are all good to hear again! I play this for people who are amazed at why they never heard of this great band... I can't recommend this high enough. More than five stars, really. Do yourself a faver."
