Extravaganza
is the fourth album by the British rock group Stackridge. The album was
produced by Tony Ashton at AIR Studios, London. The band experienced a
significant lineup change after its previous album, with James Warren,
James "Crun" Walter and Billy Sparkle all leaving.
The album was
originally released in the UK on Elton John's label, The Rocket Record
Company. Stackridge was the first group signed to the new label.
A
different version of the album was released by Sire Records in the U.S
and Canada. This version removed two songs already released on Pinafore
Days and added "Do The Stanley" from a UK single and "The Indifferent
Hedgehog" from the UK album The Man In The Bowler Hat.
Singer and
songwriter Gordon Haskell rehearsed with Stackridge for a short time
during 1974. Though Haskell decided not to join Stackridge the group
recorded one of his songs. Originally called "Worms", the version on
Extravaganza was re-titled "No One's More Important Than the Earthworm".
The
song "Happy In The Lord", written by Phil Welton, was a cover of a song
originally performed by the band Fat Grapple, and released by them as a
single in 1975.
