Gobbing on punk rock


Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias 'Snuff Rock' EP 7" (1977)
The piss-colored vinyl makes this piss-take of punk rock all that much better... and "Gobbing On Life" rocks!

"Snuff Rock" was the record-breaking musical play presented at London's Royal Court Theatre and Round House, and was famous for the role of the comic disc jockey played by Les Prior. The accompanying EP, "Snuff Rock", released on Stiff Records, poked fun at the punk rock phenomenon, targeting the Sex Pistols ("Gobbing On Life"), The Damned ("Kill") and The Clash ("Snuffin' Like That") as well as a myriad of reggae bands in "Snuffin' In A Babylon". For once, the Albertos' act was successfully transferred to vinyl. - wikipedia
