One of those early 70s forgotten prog bands, Riff Raff came together almost as a natural consequence of the members different paths crossing each others at times. Although the group started quite different than the final stable line-up, it was mostly the brainchild of Tommy Eyre and Roger Sutton (both having played with Ainsley Dunbars Blue Whale and Retaliation, Juicy Lucy, Joe Cocker, Nucleus, Mark-Almond, Alan Price, Trinity with Auger and Driscoll, etc) and later on Pete Kirtley (Griffin, Alan Price) and Aureo De Souza (Brazilian-born, played with nucleus) and Bud Beable (Ginger Bakers Airforce). Their music hovers between rock and jazz, but is not easily pigeonholed in either, neither;-).

They released their eponymous debut album in late 73, but they had already recorded a previous album the year before under a different line-up, but for obscure reasons, it was not released until almost 25 years later. After a second album, the members parted ways, but all three albums are definitely worthy of the progheads interest a forteriori if he likes Jazz-rock.

  • No gottifriend, non è grave .. . considerato che i RIFF RAFF sono dei misconosciuti. Grandissima band. .. procurati l'intero album (in cd se lo trovi o ristampa in vinile : l'originale inglese vale un fottio di soldi), ne vale la fatica della ricerca.

  • I found this record in 1974, and I never met someone, who knew this record.

    So I am very surprised to find out, that there are other fans.

    Through the years Riff Raff had one big fan in Holland, as far I know.

    I' m very glad that young people like and recongize the musical quality of this amazing album.

    In Holland they were never famous, I would like to know in which country' s they were , through the years.

    Waiting for comment . greatings.

  • grandissimo pezzo e grandissimo gruppo!
