Our Song/After The Storm/Sister Mary/Move That Wigwam/Leave It Out/How Could I Forget You/Mr Hobo/Queen Of The Sea
Saturday Morning Pictureswas the third outing for the hard rock group Stray, formed when the members were still at school. Although popular on the local club scene during the early 1970s, commercial success would continue to elude them.
“Still recognisably Stray a few years after their debut, Saturday Morning Pictures is a samey type of record but occasionally breaks into some phenomenal boogies. Queen Of The Sea is really quite something.”
“This is Stray's third straight very good album in a row. It has lots of hard rock but this recording is a little more progressive than their previous stuff. The guitar again just blazes through the material.”
“Listen to Queen Of The Sea as great a progressive rock song as was being done by any of their contemporaries. At times heavy, at times sublime, this is an album any fan of hard or progressive rock will appreciate.”
“Their third album marks their zenith as it's clearly their most consistently awesome, featuring truly fabulous semi-commercial hard rock with some prog flavour, and only a mildly commercial orientation. The guitar playing is top-notch, as is their choice of material. This is certainly a great place to start investigating them for the first time.”
“A fine release from this UK hard rock band that sound somewhat similar to Thin Lizzy. However a bit unmemorable but still worth checking out.”
“They had that raw energy that I've always loved. They're not the most polished band ever, but they were no slouches either. Their sound was original, pure rock with some depth and great hooks.”
