Description
Fabulous copy of this 1970 debut, self-titled album from hard rock band Stray. On Transatlantic Records, the original purple coloured text/logo on labels.
Considering it is a white die-cut sleeve this is in remarkably good condition. The spine is near perfect.
Vinyl is spotless. Barely any sign of wear on labels.
"Stray is an English hard rock band formed in 1966. Vocalist Steve Gadd (born Stephen Gadd, 27 April 1952, Shepherd's Bush, West London), guitarist Del Bromham (born Derek Roy Bromham, 25 November 1951, Acton, West London), bass player Gary Giles (born Gary Stephen Giles, 23 February 1952, North Kensington, West London) and drummer Steve Crutchley (born 1952) formed the band whilst all were attending the Christopher Wren School in London. Richard "Ritchie" Cole (born 10 November 1951, Shepherd's Bush, West London) replaced Crutchley in 1968. They signed to Transatlantic Records in January 1970."
