Made in England (Atomic Rooster album)

src: www.progarchives.com

Made in England is the fourth album by British rock band Atomic Rooster. Although previously known for generally having a progressive rock style, the album saw the band move more from the funk/soul direction, heavily influenced by new singer Chris Farlowe. Apart from founding member Vincent Crane, the album was recorded by a lineup entirely different from the band's previous attempts, In Hearing of Atomic Rooster . Previous members John Du Cann and Paul Hammond have departed in protest over the direction of the new music Crane intended.

In England and Germany, the original copies of the LP came wrapped in real denim sleeves. The emphasis then comes in standard art sleeve. In the US, records are issued to Elektra in the standard arm. It was reissued in Germany in 1977, this time in another new arm and was titled This is an Atomic Rooster .

The only English single from Made in England is "Stand by Me".
