Stackridge is the bands 1971 debut album. It was one of the first releases on the MCA Records label in the U.K. The Stackridge sound is rather hard to categorize. claiming a wide range of influences including The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Frank Zappa, Syd Barrett, Robin Williamson, the album has an unusual combination of styles from acoustic folk (Percy The Penguin), classically influenced progressive rock (Essence of Porphyry), Beatlesque pop-rock (Grande Piano, Marigold Conjunction) and country style folk-rock (Dora the Female Explorer.) The album contains the original version of "Slark" which was later re-recorded in a much shorter version for a single. "Slark" was the highlight of many concerts and it combines folk and progressive rock elements to create the first Stackridge epic.

Interesting Fact : Dora the Female Explorer was the only single released from the album. "Dora" sounds like it must have been the inspiration for the children's television show Dora the Explorer. The actual reason for the similar title is not fully known. Lyricists Andy Cresswell-Davis and James Warren had hoped to adapt 6 of the album's songs into a cartoon book for children. Unfortunately this book project was never completed.
