Очередное открытие для меня из замечательных 70-х

In 1974, Sir George Martin produced an album -- "The Man in the Bowler Hat" -- that many critics consider a minor masterpiece and his best work outside of the Beatles. Stackridge, the band that made that album, split up shortly afterwards, leaving behind a peculiarly British musical legacy characterized by melodic ingenuity, wit, and sophistication. Today, Stackridge returns to reclaim that legacy with "A Victory for Common Sense" -- a brand-new album that reveals a re-energized band in full possession of its musical gifts and ready to share them once again with the world.



"This album sounds completely of it's time - nothing like a nostalgic reunion or 70's period piece. It's their best album from any period, a huge achievement." Jonathan Coe.
