Album

Desperate Straights is a collaborative studio album by British avant-rock groups Slapp Happy and Henry Cow. It was recorded at Virgin Records' Manor Studio and Nova Sound Studios in November 1974, and released in February 1975. It was Slapp Happy's second album for Virgin, and they had invited Henry Cow to record with them.

Those first two Slapp Happy records were soft pop for eccentrics, informed by British Invasion rock, Dylan, and hints of European cafe music. Desperate Straights was a slightly different story.

As I wrote before, this album is a collaborative effort between Slapp Happy and Henry Cow. So, the line up on the album is: From Slapp Happy: Dagmar Krause voice and wurlitzer, Peter Blegvad voice and guitar and Anthony Moore piano. From Henry Cow: Fred Frith guitar, violin and xylophone, Tim Hodgkinson clarinet, organ and piano, John Greaves bass guitar and piano and Chris Cutler drums and percussion. And of course Henry Cow joined Slapp Happy. A rather gnomic press release from the time suggested that both groups, though different, were the same'. Slapp Happy Peter Blegvad, Anthony Moore, Dagmar Krause had already recorded one album for Virgin, and their charmingly quirky brand of surrealist pop had Mr Branson and his chums thinking they may have had a commercially viable band on their books. A merger with one of the most musically and politically radical bands of the time also on Virgin wasn't likely to enhance their earning potential much, but this was the
