Our Overview.
Stealer’s Wheel formed in Scotland in 1972 by Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan. The line-up was completed with Paul Pilnick, Tony Williams and Rod Coombes although Rab Noakes had been in the band briefly before the membership was settled. Signing to A&M Records they released their debut album before the end of the year. The following year “Stuck In The Middle With You” became a Top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
Unfortunately, the success was short lived and after two more albums, the band broke up but Rafferty would go solo and score a massive hit in 1978 with “Baker Street”. As for Stealers Wheel, “Stuck In The Middle With You” became immortal when it was used in the famous ear cutting scene in Quentin Tarantinos’ 1992 film “Reservoir Dogs”. However it was until the mid-00s that their three albums were issued on CD by Cherry Red. Now everything is in one place in this handy box.
