The Lucky Golden Stripes And Starpose
''Lucky Golden Stripes and Starpose'' is the sixth studio album by Wigwam, released in April 1976. The album was recorded at Virgin Records’ The Manor in Oxfordshire in January 1976 with Scottish musician Ronnie Leahy in the producer's chair. The album had a double release by Love Records in Finland and Virgin internationally. The track listings were identical but the releases had different artwork. ''Lucky Golden Stripes And Starpose'' continued the theme of the previous album, ''Nuclear Nightclub'', in having a pop-rock style. There were, however, still prog-rock elements to the album, and the track "Colossus" is a stand-out piece of classic '70s prog-rock. The album strangely did not include the single "Tramdriver/Wardance", which had been released the previous year. Hopes that it would be added came to pass in 2010 when the whole album including these tracks was re-mastered and re-released on Esoteric Recordings. The album was recorded at the Virgin Manor (UK), January ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wigwam (Finnish Band)
Wigwam is a Finnish progressive rock band formed in 1968. History Wigwam was founded after the split of the seminal Blues Section, with whom drummer Ronnie Österberg had played before. He formed the band as a trio, but soon brought in British expatriate singer/songwriter Jim Pembroke (also in Blues Section) and organist Jukka Gustavson. A year later, Pekka Pohjola joined on bass. Kim Fowley produced Wigwam's second album ''Tombstone Valentine'' (1970). This album also featured an excerpt of Erkki Kurenniemi's electronic composition 'Dance of the Anthropoids'. The 1974 album ''Being'' is often called Wigwam's masterpiece. After its release, though, Pohjola and Gustavson quit the band. Commercially the most successful Wigwam album must be the more pop-oriented ''Nuclear Nightclub'' that followed in 1975, with new members Pekka Rechardt on guitar and Måns Groundstroem on bass. The album was recorded in Stockholm with better studios, and featured Esa Kotilainen, the Finnish ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jim Pembroke

Life and career Pembroke was born in London, and played with London group Taverners' Guild before arriving in Finland in 1965.
