Reissued 1975 album. This is their debut LP produced by Martin Rushent and includes promising chart hit 'Why Did You Do It'. Rated by some critics as the 'Greatest British blues and boogie band of the era', they once blew Ritche Blackmore's Rainbow off stage. Here is an opportunity to rediscover their long potential, as they roar through 'Miss Dizzy', 'Snakes Alive', 'Slip Away' and a total of ten action packed tracks from the original album.
Personnel: Elmer Gantry (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, harmonica, background vocals); Nigel Watson (vocals, guitar); Kirby Gregory (guitar, electric guitar, slide guitar); Roshi (guitar, electric guitar); Chris Mercer, Bud Bradle, Mike Baily, Mike Bailey, Mick Eve, Ron Carthy (horns); John Cook, John Cook (keyboards); Jim Russell (drums, cowbells, tambourine, bells).

Elastique Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   Good funkin' fun
This is an awesome album. I bought it on the back of the song 'Why did you do it' which I heard on the Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels movie soundtrack. And yeah I was blown away by it. It is just catchy as hell. You can't help but groove along to it. It's like part funk, part rock, part blues, part country, part soul. Just a wicked blend, with every track offering something a bit different. Really good fun, I enjoyed it heaps.

Elastique by Stretch was a record of it's time.It could not have been made in any other period other than the mid to late 70s.An eclectic mix(yes,that word again!)of blues,rock and funk,there really was something there for everyone,wanted it,that is.Groups like Stretch,Crawler and their ilk came along at the wrong junction in the musical time-frame.It wasn't that they were bad,far from it,but with the advent of punk and the saturation of press attention,hard working live bands like these were mostly forgotten,which is a shame as Stretch had something,even a hit single with the infectiously funky 'Why did you do it?' ,which was featured on the soundtrack of the film 'Lock,stock and two smoking barrels'.Elmer Gantry's smokey vocals were perfect to sing the tracks on this cheeky little cd,from the hard-rocking Miss Jones to the sleazy sounding Navy blues.You could do worse than give it a go,and ponder if in a more egalitarian popworld bands like Stretch and their kin could have held a more prominent historical foot-note.

The Quill is a Swedish hard rock/metal act that combines the best of classic hard rock with alternative and metal. The group's influences come from across the spectrum, but some show up more obviously than others. First, it is easy to spot Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. Give a listen to "Sell No Soul" for a quick example of those. They also chart into Led Zeppelin territory. Check out "(Wade Across) The Mighty River" and think Led Zeppelin III. All their influences are not so old-school, though. Indeed, tracks like "Until Earth Is Bitter Gone" showcase a Soundgarden sort of texture and "Overlord" screams Corrosion of Conformity. The group is being billed as "stoner rock," and it does exhibit healthy doses of that variant of the jam band sound, but that is certainly not the whole picture. The Hammond B-3 organ ...

Remember in the late '80s, when Led Zeppelin clones were at a premium (Kingdom Come, Bonham, etc.)? Well, although the Quill isn't as instantly smirk-inducing as some of the aforementioned bands, they definitely have studied their Zeppelin and other '70s-era classic rock records, as evidenced by their 2006 release In Triumph. After all, singer Magnus Ekwall certainly has Robert Plant's "cat in heat" vocals down pat, while guitarist Christian Carlsson has obviously studied Jimmy Page's guitar grandeur. Case in point, "Broken ...

Elastique songs
$17.69
In the early 1990s, Sony did issue a CD which combined the two albums they made in 1969 and 1971 with "classicist at heart" street musician Louis Hardin, better known as Moondog. The Sony reissue arrived at a time when interest in Moondog was at an all-time low, as he had lived in Germany for two decades and his popular first Columbia album had been out of print for nearly half that time; while his second album was so obscure it barely survived its initial release. This BGO Records reissue of same, Moondog/Moondog 2 debuted in England literally on the heels of news of Hardin's passing in 1999, and it is hard not to fault them for cashing in on stakes made liquid by the ever-unpredictable vicissitudes of the grim reaper. On the other hand, it is nice to have these two recordings available again, and as both albums were short to start with, both made for CBS, and both produced by James William Guercio, it is only natural that they should be combined onto one CD.
The first LP, Moondog, features Moondog jamming with some of the top-flight studio musicians in New York on his own charts in an ambitiously scored bag reminiscent of a forgotten Epic LP from the '50s, Moondog and His Friends -- difficult to reissue as, like its successors, it's really, really short. The second, the inaccurately titled Moondog 2, consists of 26 canons drawn from his first two collections of 100 canons each, composed in the '50s and '60s and printed up in editions Hardin sold hand to hand on the street. These are performed by a small group led by Hardin and include then-wife June Hardin, a small band of period instrument musicians, and Guercio himself pitching in with the percussion. The vast majority of critical notices you may read on these two albums favor the better selling Moondog over Moondog 2, but present ...

Moody Scott was reared on gospel music but became entranced by R&B in the '60s. Despite his religious mother's objections, he eventually headed in that musical direction, bringing with him the vocal power he had developed during a childhood spent singing in church. Some of the early tracks represented on this collection were recorded in Nashville for the Sound Stage Seven, Luna and Seventy-Seven labels and are characterized by a vintage Nashville R&B flavor -- the title track was a regional ...
