"Saturday Morning At The Pictures" wich one of the best covers Hipgnosis have done, is the latest one and to promote it they gave a little cinema show of Captain Marvel and other films. It's a fine rock and roll album, very lively, very exciting."

ReplyDeleteStray are an English hard rock band formed in London in 1966. Vocalist Steve Gadd (born Stephen Gadd, 27 April 1952, Shepherd's Bush, West London), guitarist Del Bromham (born Derek Roy Bromham, 25 November 1951, Acton, West London), bassist Gary Giles (born Gary Stephen Giles, 23 February 1952, North Kensington, West London) and drummer Steve Crutchley (born 1952) formed the band whilst all were attending the Christopher Wren School in London. Richard "Ritchie" Cole (born 10 November 1951, Shepherd's Bush, West London) replaced Crutchley in 1968.
They signed to Transatlantic Records in January 1970.
Their brand of melodic, hook-laden hard rock proved to be a popular draw on the local club scene during the early 1970s.

The title of the album and the artwork was our idea. We had this idea of like some of the great films it should have that flavour, like a cast of thousands.
I loved the old artwork as used on the old MGM/Paramount films and those big sets like were used by Busby Berkley.
We took our ideas to Storm and Po at Hypnosis Designs who at that time like Stray were in their formative years and the finished product including a collage of photographs of us as children in the centre cover became almost legendary and was nominated for an award on UK television.
