Skite (CD)

Digitally remastered edition of this 1978 album from British parody/comedy rockers Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias. Created in 1972 by former member of Greasy Bear - Chris quot;C.P.quot; Lee and Jimmy Hibbert (vocals, bass) (ex Jacko Ogg and the Head People) and Bob Harding (vocals, guitar, bass), the comedy sketch outfit became a musical group in 1974 and was joined by former Greasy Bear (1968-1972) drummer Bruce Mitchell (drums), with Les Prior (vocals), Simon White (steel guitar, guitar), Tony Bowers (bass, guitar) and Ray quot;Mighty Mongoquot; Hughes (second drummer). The group mercilessly parodied the major rock names of the 1970s. The band's brand of spoof rock has been said to be in the same English tradition as that of the Barron Knights and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band but a better comparison might be the American bluegrass/country parody band the Austin Lounge Lizards.
