Stratavarious is an album by Ginger Baker,[2] released by Polydor in 1972.[3] Baker had many associations with an eclectic mix of musicians brought together under numerous band titles bearing his surname. Stratavarious is the only album that was released under the name of Ginger Baker without other associated names. The lineup on Stratavarious included Bobby Tench, vocalist and guitarist from The Jeff Beck Group,[4] who plays guitar under the pseudonym Bobby Gass[2] and the Nigerian pioneer of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti[5] who appeared at concerts with Baker at this time.
