    1976 studio album by The Hollies

    Russian Roulette is a 1976 self-produced album by English rock/pop group, the Hollies, and their 17th UK studio album. This is the band`s second release in 1976 (the other being Write On). It was composed entirely by the group`s songwriting team. The album was not issued in the US (although five of the album`s ten tracks appeared on Epic Records` release, "Clarke, Hicks, Sylvester, Calvert, Elliott", issued in the North American market in 1977).

    The album is a combination of pop music, guitar rock and disco (plus the Latin-styled "Draggin` My Heels"). Although the songs were not a great success in the UK, the opening disco-funk track "Wiggle That Wotsit" became a Top 20 hit in New Zealand (No. 11). It also appeared in the Dutch charts (No. 23) and reached the Swedish Top 20 (No. 19). Another track "Daddy Don`t Mind" reached No. 21 on the Dutch Top 40 and No. 36 in Germany (session musician Wally Smith from Ted Heath And His Music played a trumpet solo for its bridge section).[2]

    Recording sessions were held at the Basing Street Studios, located in London`s Notting Hill district. Session musicians on the album included keyboard player Peter Arnesen (from The Rubettes), percussionist Chris Karan (The Dudley Moore Trio) and a brass section made up of Jimmy Jewell, Henry Lowther and John Mumford.

    Famous British art group Hipgnosis designed the album cover for Russian Roulette.
