DANDELION RECORDS began life back in the heady days of flower power as an idealistic venture by British DJ, John Peel.

The label ran from 1969 to 1972,

STACKWADDY

Although forming in Manchester, England, in 1965 under the banner of New Religeon, Stackwaddy first came to attention at the 1969 Progressive Blues Festival in Buxton with their boisterous brand of British '60s-styled R&B.

Signing with John Peel's Dandelion label, they released the single "Roadrunner" in 1970, followed by their self-titled debut album in 1971. Led by singer John Knail, they developed a reputation as an excellent live act, despite Knail's habit of throwing bottles or assaulting crowds who were not appreciative of their efforts. Dwindling success led to the band's demise although Barnham did revive the group with a new lineup of Mike Sweeny (vocals), Wayne Jackson (bass), and Kevin Wilkinson (drums) from 1973-1976.
