Stray
'Move It'
Transatlantic, UK, 1974
TRA 281
FOLLOWING IN the same footsteps as the brave sounding 'Mudanzas' and recorded, interestingly, in the USA. This album like its predecessor has been unfairly glossed over in the Stray scheme of things primarilly for continuing the 'experimental' sound forged a year earlier.
Sure, the album isn't as 'heavy' as their first two or three albums but the band still rock like men possessed when the moment dictates. Of course, the focus here is on the lead track 'Move It' a hard rock version of the Cliff Richard rock 'n roll classic which is actually brilliantly executed. Elsewhere the sound shifts from dreamy ballads to reved up rockers laced with smatterings of brass and, of all things, Mellotron.
This auction is part of a fantastic collection of seventies rock which I was lucky enough to acquire. Most of these records were stored with the utmost care and sparsely played. Some were possibly never played or may have been for just a handful of times.
