The third longplayer of the British-German power-pop band led by frontman Dick York and Dead Trouser drummer Vom Ritchie is musically more complex than its predecessors. Three of the total of fifteen tracks contain even ingenious string arrangements, without denying the roots of their classic power pop. 1976 is released as a limited edition LP in multicolour vinyl, as a Digipak CD and as a digital album on the D?sseldorf indie label Drumming Monkey Records.
