Lucky Golden Stripes and Starpose by Wigwam

Lucky Golden Stripes and Starpose is the sixth studio album released by Wigwam in April 1976. The album was recorded at Virgin records’ The Manor in Oxfordshire in January 1976 with Scottish musician Ronnie Leahy in the producers’ chair. The album had a double release by Love Records in Finland and Virgin internationally. The track listings were identical but the releases had different art work. Lucky Golden Stripes And Starpose continued the theme of the previous album Nuclear Nightclub in having a pop-rock style. There were however still prog-rock elements to the album and the track Colussus is a stand-out piece of classic 70s prog-rock. The album did strangely not include the single Tramdriver/Wardance' which had been released the previous year. Hopes that it would be added came to pass in 2010 when the whole album including these tracks was re-mastered and re-released on Esoteric Recordings. The album was recorded at the Virgin Manor (UK), January 1976, except "Tramdriver" recorded at Manor Mobile and Kingsway Studio August 1975 and "Wardance" recorded at Marcus Music Studio, Stockholm November 1975.
