Elmer Gantry’s actor friend Richard O’Brien (who wrote the ‘Rocky Horror Show’) conceived the thought-provoking album title, and this was the second Stretch album of 1976 vintage. It shows just how much good music was produced by many British bands that tended to get overlooked in their time.

The material for 'You Can't Beat Your Brain For Entertainment’ was written while the band was on the road and includes ten slices of solid, soulful rock with a great R&B edge. --- repertoirerecords.com

Without question Stretch was one of rock music’s hardest working and finest groups and they remain vastly under-rated in spite of an outstanding hit single ‘Why Did You Do It?’, originally released in 1975 and later revitalized in the award-winning movie Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and by Beyonce on youtube. In an era when Bad Company and Rainbow were storming the charts and the stages, Stretch was right up there giving them a run for their money. For a period in the mid 70s it seemed that they would be amongst the biggest names of them all with their thrilling spill of hooks and hard rock. Yet despite instant chart success the group had disappeared by the end of the decade. It remains one of the greatest universal mysteries why Stretch was not massive because their high quality tasteful music should have ensured far greater commercial success. --- stretchwebsite.com
