Stray - Stray (Vinyl)

Description

Stray are an English hard rock band formed in London in 1966.Their brand of melodic, hook-laden hard rock proved to be a popular draw on the local club scene during the early 1970s. However, the band never achieved commercial success, but over the years their debut album has proven to be a classic among connoisseurs.

The group's early musical style consisted of blues rock, acid rock and psychedelic rock. They then went on to join the hard rock and progressive rock movement, it is clearly the latter two styles that form the core of their eclectic eponymous debut from 1970. The bandmembers were only 18-19 years old at the time of release which is pretty astounding.

In 2003, Stray were the support band to Iron Maiden on several of their European dates on the Dance of Death World Tour. (Iron Maiden did a cover of "All In Your Mind" on their No Prayer album) and they are still to be seen on the road today. Stray is now available, in the iconic die - cut gatefold sleeve, as a numbered limited edition of 1000 copies on white vinyl.
