Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias

Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias were Punk band from Manchester, England, UK. The band started off on the College circuit, played free festivals and gigged with the likes of Hawkwind. All rich pickings for satire. Their experiences with the 'Wind was directly translated into 'Mandrax Sunset Variations', one of the highlights of their debut album from 1976, which was released on Transatlantic, a folk label of all things. Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias was a middling seller but a very promising opening salvo, with custodians of public taste WH Smiths notoriously banning the record because of its incredibly scatological material. This talented, media-savvy Mancunian septet made quite a few records, but have gone down in Punk history thanks to the Snuff Rock EP, arguably the funniest - and most convincingly authentic sounding - of Punk piss-takes. The EP was, if you will, the cast recording of Sleak, a musical the Albertos trotted out at the Royal Court Theatre and Round House in London. The "snuff rock" bit refers to its main character Norman Sleak, played by singer Les Prior, an innocent disc jockey who is manipulated into committing suicide on stage (was GG Allin a fan?). With three-quarters of the EP given over to spot-on Damned/Clash/Pistols-type blasting, complete with comedy Cockney vocals and sweary abuse, and the other quarter a funny spoof on Punk's flirtation Reggae, it is a quality release. Their three albums don't measure up to this killer disc, but there's plenty to admire for fans of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band and Monty Python, their spiritual forefathers.
