Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias - Snuff Rock ( A Side )

[MENSFORTHHILL99]

IM GOBBIN ON LIFE

[aprilonpot]

i saw them at guildford universities one of teh funnist thing i have ever seen great show and night out!!!

[evilrobottolhurst]

No matter how sh*t life looks, it can get worse... (but kids, grow up and become graphic designers!)

[055697]

Oh dear. They probably thought they were being terribly radical and alternative. It just looks tired, forced and silly now.

[hahasaidthecar]

@055697 this is a parody of Punk....a satire. They are poking fun...something they used to do back then. Bands such as The Bonzo Dog Band and The Tubes....Sadly little of it about now...we could do with a good laugh occasionally at the expense of the likes of Lady Gaga and all those other popstars who take themselves terribly seriously...

[055697]

@hahasaidthecar

well that is maybe but it all has the tinge of sixth form common room humour to me. yawn.

[PIERRECLARY]

@055697

ok

what band dwith a college education level sense of humour do you recommand?

[PIERRECLARY]

@hahasaidthecar

yeah, punk started being a parody of rock before taking itself seriously (see The Damned at their debut)...then Albertos were needed to remind the new hyperdupersupermegapunkstars to get their noses off the coke mountain and their heads out of their arseholes,,,but who listened?

[hahasaidthecar]

@PIERRECLARY absolutulely NO ONE!



[MrIggyIck]

@hahasaidthecar If it makes you feel any better(which it simply may not do so), GWAR has been killing and sodomizing everyone who receives the least amount of public notice for the past... nearly 30 years now. We can laugh at Lady Gaga getting her tits ripped off.

[SheledUmlal]

@hahasaidthecar What about Otway?

[ASGREEDYASAPIG]

top ep

[enolapayback]

@sham64andahalf

Thanks for this and all the other groovy stuff, Cheers !

[Rich6Brew]

Reading Festival: August 1975

[philstagg]

Woods in Plymouth supporting The Police

[stevemetaloldie]

saw them live in doncaster about 1978 - one of the best live bands I have ever seen

[jhvbgv]

ahah, that's my dad! soo cool!

[baldy1]

another classic, when punk was PUNK...

[erictheviking871]

a piss take,but for me one off the great punk records.still love it now.italians from outerspace is brilliant.

[YooToob160]

@FrancoDamn

I'm pretty sure that's John Scott.

[twistedspanner]

This singer is Keith Moon's long lost brother.

[FrancoDamn]

that red haired guy with that modified telecaster guitar....Tony Bowers? I can see Bruce Mitchell isn't there.

[jhvbgv]

@FrancoDamn  yes, he's tony

[9graff9]

FUCKING RAD!!!

[moimoiac]

Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias

yeah yeah!

[grutherford59]

Saw them twice

St Andrews Uni supported by the Police(1977/1978 not to sure)

Venue London 1980 where they emerged from the audience as SAS(piss take of Iranianembassy siege

[majorsnag]

This is a fuckin top track from a great period in my life, as was pete shelley mentioned below..thanks for posting it

[baskyobe]

i remember buying the snuff rock ep at ames record bar in Blackburn in 1978 !...

[Spaceshiptechnician]

I first saw them supporting Hawkwind in Jan 74. Saw them again in 76 and 77. Truly superb. I really wish Sleak had been filmed/recorded for release - ditto ANY of their live gigs.

[Andyhinds]

Why don't you go onto Amazon to buy their CDs.

[Andyhinds]

The singer Chris Hibbert went on to create Count Duckula you know and CP Lee's a friend of mine and he's asked me to photograph his current band The Hotshots which has John Peter Scott of the 'Berts' on guitar.

[puer1950]

Brilliant stuff.

[RoilNoise]

i got two copies of this EP,paid a $1 for each one 18 or so years ago...not for sale because its to great to give away for dirty money....trade for drugs?...HAH!

[metalems6]

fukin amazin!!! where can you get the albums on CD? wish the OGWT would release the gig they had!!

THANK YOU ! ( FUCK YOU?) great single that was!!

[Andyhinds]

@metalems6 They have a CD out called Mandrax Sunset Variations which is quite varied but very good and funny too.

[jockandcarol]

SUPERB ! i wish id seen them live .

[windsorss]

Shortly after touring with Blondie in support one yesr, The Police supporting them the next year, I saw them in London, sharing the venue with The Sooty Show. Fuck me it was funny. Woman at the desk asking all the punks..."Do you want to see The Sooty Show or The Albertos". Great memory.

[NeilThompson30]

I've seen the Sooty show AND the Albertos.

[Wehategod]

The British know how to do Punk Rock

[fernandopinzas]

lo mejor del punk 77

[ZLUGGO]

Fabulous!

"Skite" is a wonderful album.

[bikerbrianpunk]

nice!!!

[NBM3]

"An overdose of livin' is makin' me sick !"

I had the pleasure of seeing all the NY shows , Mudd Club another gig somewhere and later the Sleak shows .

Very silly , very fun !

[paralyticliff]

acclaimed band was "Stray" type error my old grey matter aint what it used to be.

[paralyticliff]

i had the pleasure of Headling these great guys in the mid 70's at the monthly "Rock gig " at Harlow Tech . . .as i remeber lots of people turned up late , expecting to see the acclaimed college band at the time 'Strand " headlining . After all these years i still wonder if anybody really got the point of it all . . .performance art for the masses . .

[NickDuvet]

His name is Jimmy Hibbert. I think he went on to do stuff on TV. Don't think he would have gone down to rock singer route, he was always more of an actor I think

[windsorss]

Yeah. Jimmy Hibbert & CP Lee. Saw them on Dec 10, 1978 supported by none other than The Police (promoting Outlandos d'amour) - St. Andrews University. The Year before they were supported by Blondie. Great stuff. Classic.

[Bluemerlin32]

Dunno the singers name, but wasn't he with Nik Turner in Inner City Unit, later on, in the eighties?

[Serenberg]

are these guys still alive?I never saw this video on MTV.vERY CREATIVE AND OVER THE EDGE .

[theCREAPx]

cause its fuckin old skool, these days bands are scared to be creative Oo :D

[crustychi666]

that was really cool

[gadgetmarley]

try.thunderstrike shane stewart

[jhvbgv]

ahahah can't believe that!!! my dad is the bass player! Tony Bowers! i will talk to him about this video!!!

[shedend76]

Tell him that this EP' was one of the enduring ironical amusing and somehow brilliant moments of my teenage years. Also the guitar solos are genuine quality.

[frontroomautos]

Takes me way back, fucking excellent, nihilistic rock n roll

[steelyman08]

My next door neighbour had the Mandrax album. I was 12 and thought, "Here's what I'm after."

Never thought I'd ever see this on You Tube!!

[cherrytreeandon]

my best bit of small type plastic, jeenieous performanse eh?

[25david63]

Sheer Excellence! Saw them at Dunelm in Durham circa 1979, fucking brill!

[NeilThompson30]

They played the Durham University Christmas Party - Tuesday December 6th 1977 (still got the ticket) - the Snuff Rock bit was ace. Can you remember the students at the back slow-handclapping! - Stupid arses.

[Timebandit720]

Didn't the singer join Nik Turner's Inner City Unit later on? Looks like him in the videos.

[JimmerJim]

when i was young i used to sing this to all my mates,its a shame theyve not used the swearwords here,still great tho,and ive still got the 7 inch.

[GodOverDemon]

I saw them supporting Spider Mike King in the Manchester music school squat in '73 . I was stoned and almost died laughing. Happy days...

[harrisf1]

fuckin quality

[PAULLONDEN]

☻ Thank[fuck]¥OU ☺

[hsifylleg]

I think I may still have the vinyl of this somewhere.

[facebreaker82]

I don't give a damn I don't f***ing care

I'm gonna kill me mum then pull out me hair

I'm fed up with the dole and the human race

I'm gonna cut me liver out and shove it in your face.

Kill ! Kill !

I'm apathetic, I'm lazy and rude

I'm boring and I'm stupid and I'm vicious and crude

I get thrown out of pub for pissing on the floor

I'm gonna cut me liver out and nail it on your door.

[facebreaker82]

I don't like animals or lifting heavy weights

I'm gonna shoot me fingers off and carve up all me mates

Gonna steal a motor car and smash it all to pieces

Gonna cut me liver out and pin it on your braces.

[shaz1000]

I went to see these a couple of times and loved them. I think it's funny that Jimmy Hibert (singer) went on to do voice overs and script writing for things like Bob the Builder and count duckula.

[rattyfinky]

MAGIC BAND!! LONG LIVE SNUFF!!

[kitkins13]

these guys look mad... wish i'd been around to see them in the 70s

[Wehategod]

I love this song

[facebreaker82]

Chaos UK

[rhabarberkompott]

alice cooper does shit like that better

[theZodiacDigital]

well yeah, but alice is the BEST

[janea57]

I remember going to see this lot a few times back in the 70's - still got the EP and the album. They were brilliant. Whatever happened to them?

[day1punk]

i also bought the EP in the 70's-ace

[unclemort1960]

some people thought this was areal punk record and not a spoof

[majorsnag]

Please dont destroy my memories of this by telling me its a spoof, i mean yeah, looking at it now it looks funny as fuck but when i got it I was only 13 and thought this was punk genius. Plus me mum despised it!!

[jontheid]

Fake it so real it is beyond fake

[l33tpwnzord]

You are so sophisticated for knowing who this band is.

[pertinaxus]

What bliss it was to be alive in that dawn...just stuff me in a plastic bag and shove me on the pave...a ..menta!

[leenyburghers]

If my memory serves me correctly these people did a song " Happy to be on an island away from Demis Roussos " I'm still laughing about that one thirty years later. Good stuff One does realise one's age though doesn't one !!

[PliskinLee]

Including me

[dylanthomas6]

Still got the EP, but it's even more warped than the music. Fan-bloody-tastic!

[day1punk]

GOT THE EP IN 1977 - ACE

[exproggo]

The second song is great...I know they were a kind of joke but they sound good.

[sham64andahalf]

Me too mate - 1978 at Woods in Plymouth UK.

[TheGManUK]

Saw thes guys when, wait for it, their support band was the POLICE!!!

AYLTP shook the house!!

My pal even got a bucket of water chuked over him for arguing with the LS!!

Do we still need to post FU audio file?

PS when the I next saw the police headlining, ther were C**P.

TheGman UK

[rabsmiff]

THE POLCE were always shit.......WORLD WAR 2

[fulltimepunk]

They were a parody band, a Baron Nights of rock if you like. Before 77 they made fun of heavy and prog bands. This EP (Snuff Rock late 77)was an opprtunistic mocking of the Damned, Pistols, Clash and Bob marley respectfully. Lots of punks bought it however.

[PliskinLee]

Yup, myself included

[jackwelly]

fantastic x

[adrianbarratt]

who can forget the reggie classic "snuffin in babylon"

[externalmenace]

This is brilliant stuff! Their F@ck You / Thank You 7" from 78 was fantastic also!

[QVXS77]

I had this and lost it years ago , can any body post it please?

[666dmn]

Phil from Barnet, Russell Brand wasn't even a stain in his dads pants when this song came out you fucking cunt !!.

[crapidious]

[FullersRd]

And to think Jimmy does Andy Pandy, now. He wouldn't fit into that jacket either.

[he777he]

fuckin A well done, for this is punk not music biz bollox

[philfrombarnet]

glad someone else recognised russell brand !! great song even if it was a piss take , anyone remember heads down no nonsense mindless boogie ?

[sham64andahalf]

[boycey675]

[sham64andahalf]

Na mate - ain't got no video of that I'm afraid : - ((

[hotun]

Never filmed - but I've written the full story of why in When We Were Thin just out. You can buy the book from the cplee website - and you get the Sight and Sound dvd (you have to ask for it)! Cheers CP

[MCFCTrick]

Hi CP,

My other half got me the book, signed by yourself for Christmas. Half read it already, love it! But can I get hold of the dvd somehow please? Also, remember seeing you guys practically every week, (usually a Monday or Tues) at the much lamented Band On The Wall for much of '82/'83(?)and remember a few gigs being filmed, anything of those great nights ever seen light of day? Or ever likely to?

Thanks for some great, great times.

David (MCFCTrick)
