Wiederhören > Kraan

Artist: Kraan
Format: Vinyl
Country: Germany
Released: 1977
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
With Alto Pappert's departure, Kraan was again a quartet. Although Ingo Bischof's tenure would be intermittent over the long run, it was stable for now. He brought along fellow Karthago member Tommy Goldschmidt for the sessions that resulted in the band's sixth album, Wiederhören. Half of the album was recorded with Conny Plank at his studio in Neunkirchen, while the band self-produced the other half at Rüssl Studio in Hamburg.

Released: 1977
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
Joining Nova for their final two records were bassist Barry "SunJon" Johnson and drummer Ric Parnell, the latter previously in Atomic Rooster and Ibis (and son of the famous big bandleader Jack Parnell). The band had moved to the US, relocating first to Colorado and then on to Southern California; according to Elio D'Anna, "In England, all there were were a lot of punk bands!" Narada Michael Walden was still around, but in a different role; here, he produced Wings Of Love, which again was recorded at Trident Studios in London.

Works Volume 1 > Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Artist: Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Label: Atlantic
Catalog#: SD 2-7000
Format: Vinyl
Country: United States
Released: 1977
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
Emerson, Lake & Palmer's long absence from the rock arena broke during the heyday of "punk." While the band's surfeit had always been an easy target for pundits, Works Volume 1 was perhaps their most unfashionable offering to date. Styled to resemble an album of classical music, even the black-and-white album cover cries pretension. Three sides of the vinyl are each credited to a band member, while the fourth is claimed by the band as a unit. Keith Emerson's contribution is "Piano Concerto No.

Yes We Have No Mañanas, So Get Your Mañanas Today > Ayers, Kevin

Artist: Kevin Ayers
Label: ABC Records
Catalog#: AB 1021
Format: Vinyl
Country: United States
Released: 1977-03
Strawberry Bricks Entry: 
Back with Harvest Records, Kevin Ayers retained only guitarist Ollie Halsall for his next record, Yes We Have No Mañanas (So Get Your Mañanas Today); the title a play on a song from the 1922 musical revue, Make It Snappy. Along with a bevy of special guests, Muff Winwood was brought in to produce; and by all accounts, the combination should have been magic. "Star" is a shining beauty of a track, with Family's Rob Townsend and Taste's Charlie McCracken providing the rhythm.
