If I Were Brittania I'd Waive the Rules is Budgie's sixth album, released in April 1976. The title is a pun on the concept of Britannia ruling the waves. Amusingly, the word "Britannia" is misspelled in the official title. All tracks written by Burke Shelley and Tony Bourge. Burke Shelley - vocals, bass. Tony Bourge - guitar, vocals (lead vocals on track 6). Steve Williams - drums. Additional musicians. Richard Dunn - keyboards.

I don't want it honey you believe it I don't need no quacktor to tell me why I can't see it why do we believe it I don't need no quacktor to tell me why Taking all my money away But I don't understand what the bureaucats say.

Sunday, July 3, 2016. Budgie - 1976 - If I Were Brittania I'd Waive The Rules. Budgie 1976 If I Were Brittania I'd Waive The Rules. I like the run of the entire album. Well programmed enough to invite repeated listenings. The epic closer "Black Velvet Stallion" is however less effective, the riff needing more detailed development over the course of the song and not right at the end.

If I Were Britannia I'd Waive the Rules. Album (Studio full-length). Progressive Rock, Hard Rock.
