This Esoteric Recordings edition has been expanded to include an additional CD which features four tracks issued as singles and the band's previously unreleased BBC Radio One In Concert performance from June 1972. Formed in Bristol in 1969, Stackridge were one of the most unique British bands of the era. Their initial line-up featured Andy Davis (guitar, keyboards, vocals), James Warren (guitar, vocals), James \"Crun\" Walter (bass), Michael \"Mutter\" Slater (flute, vocals), Michael Evans (violin) and Billy Bent (drums). Possessing a gift for melody, musicianship and a fine sense of humour and English eccentricity, their concerts were legendary. Throughout 1970 they honed their song writing and live act, appearing at the very first Glastonbury festival that year. In 1971, Crun Walter departed the band and James Warren assumed bass guitar duties. They signed to MCA Records and recorded their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, issued in August that year. By 1972, Crun Walter had rejoined the band and Stackridge continued an endless series of concerts which gained them a loyal and fanatical following. The flavour of their live performances was captured on a recording for the BBC Radio In Concert series at the BBC Paris Theatre in London in June 1972, which debuted some tracks which would appear on their second album, 'Friendliness', recorded at Sound Techniques studio in Chelsea. Issued in November 1972, the album and subsequent tour with fellow Bristol act The Pigsty Hill Orchestra, gained the band more dedicated followers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLummy Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Friendliness (Part One)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Anyone for Tennis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e There Is No Refuge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Syracuse the Eephant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Amazingly Agnes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Father Frankenstein Is Behind Your Pillow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Keep on Clucking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Story of My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Friendliness (Part Two)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Teatime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Slark (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Purple Spaceships Over Yatton (B-Side of Single)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction - Hit and Miss (BBC Radio in Concert June 1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Grande Piano (BBC Radio in Concert June 1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Teatime (BBC Radio in Concert June 1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lummy Days (BBC Radio in Concert June 1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Amazingly Agnes (BBC Radio in Concert June 1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 32 West Mall (BBC Radio in Concert June 1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e She Taught Me How to Yodel (BBC Radio in Concert June 1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Four Poster Bed (Let There Be Lids) (BBC Radio in Concert June 1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e C'est la Vie (B-Side of Single)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Do the Stanley (A-Side of Single)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50553889325330,"sku":"5013929483590","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/stackridge-friendliness-expanded-edition-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
