Cherry Red are delighted to announce the release of another classic album from John Peel's Dandelion Records catalogue, 1971's self-titled "Stack Waddy", a raucous four-piece from Manchester consisting of John Knail (vocals, harmonica), Mick Stott (guitar), Stuart Banham (bass
) and Steve Revell (drums). Peel had first seen the band at the Buxton Blues Festival in September 1969.
