Stack Waddy - s/t (1971) & "Bugger Off!" (1972)

Stack Waddy were an English Blues-Rock band from Tiperley, Manchester most actively in the late '60's and early 70's, and again in 2007. After seeing the band play live at the Buxton Blues Festival in 1969, John Peel immediately signed them to his Danillion label. The original lineup of John Knail, Mick Stott, Stuart Banham, and Steve Revel (replaced by John Groom on the second album), released two albums and singles before breaking up for a while in 1973. Supposedly, rumor says that there is a hidden archive stored away with several albums more worth of material. (studio jam sessions, and rehersals).
On January 24, 1972 (transmitted on the 18th of February) the band also recorded a performance for the John Peel BBC Radio 1 show. The tracks were; "Hoochie Coochie Man", "Rock Me Baby", "You Really Got Me", and "Willi the Pimp." (which is entirely fitting given the bands uncanny "Beefheartesque" sound).

They have reconvined several times with their second lineup of Knail, Stott, Banham, & Groom, with the last gathering for the Dandilion Records Bigraphical DVD film shoot in 2007.
