Signing to Elton John’s newly established Rocket Records, Stackridge recorded the album Extravaganza, with Mutter Slater returning to the fold prior to recording sessions.This Esoteric Recordings edition has been expanded to include an additional CD which features a wonderful performance for the Radio One In Concert programme recorded January 1975.
