Strawbs : Hero and heroine : CD in good Condition

THIS OFFER IS FOR AN ORIGINAL CD IN GOOD CONDITION

Hero and Heroine is a studio album by English band Strawbs. After the tour supporting the previous album, Bursting at the Seams, there was an acrimonious split leaving only Dave Cousins and Dave Lambert to rebuild the band. The new line-up gelled very quickly and studio sessions were very productive. The album was released first in the US to a warm reception, and then in the UK where reviews were more negative. The album only reached number 35 on the UK Album Charts^[1] and the band increasingly began to look to North America for a successful future.

The album, although still recognisably Strawbs, contains tracks with harsh "straight talking" lyrics, in contrast to the more lyrical approach shown on Bursting at the Seams. The music is more Gothic and doom-laden with washes of mellotron and big guitar power chords, especially on the longer tracks.

All band members made writing contributions, notably Chas Cronk with whom Dave Cousins would write many songs on future albums.
