Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce a newly re-mastered edition of the classic 1972 album by CHICKEN SHACK.

“Imagination Lady” was the fifth album by the group and the band had undergone changes to the line-up, instigated by band leader, guitarist STAN WEBB, prior to the recording of the album.

Now a trio featuring JOHN GLASCOCK (Bass) and PAUL HANCOX (Drums), the album saw STAN WEBB head in a hard rock direction, albeit with Blues influences, resulting in a fine album featuring such classic tracks as ‘Crying Won’t Help You Now’, ‘Daughter of the Hillside’ and the epic ‘Telling Your Fortune’.

This Esoteric Recordings reissue has been re-mastered from the original master tapes and includes two bonus tracks, taken from two respective singles. The reissue features a booklet that fully restores all original album artwork with an informative essay.
Description

Imagination Lady is the fifth long-player for Stan Webb's Chicken Shack and was released in 1972. Much in the same tradition as the great British bluesmen Alexis Corner and John Mayall, Webb's revolving-door personnel landed the band several notable members. For this album, Webb (guitar/vocals) gathered a trio consisting of himself, future Gods and Jethro Tull member John Glascock (bass), and Paul Hancox (drums). As with the previous Chicken Shack long-players, this disc features several Webb originals augmented with some well-chosen cover tunes. The album opens with a ferocious cover of B.B. King's "Crying Won't Help You." In a style akin to the Faces or even some of the rowdier moments from the Peter Green-led Fleetwood Mac, this trio grinds out the blues with a decidedly English edge, followed by the folkie "If I Were a Carpenter". "Daughter of the Hillside" & is Webb's most impressive contribution to the album. This straight-ahead rocker is an ideal trio effort recalling the intense instrumentality of Cream or early Led Zeppelin. The closing number "The Loser" is upbeat and almost pop-oriented, again displaying the immense strength of this Chicken Shack line up.
Imagination Lady is available as limited numbered edition of 1000 copies on translucent red coloured vinyl and comes in a gatefold sleeve.
