Skip Bifferty was an Englishpsychedelicrock band formed in early 1966. The band featured future members of Ian Dury and The Blockheads.
History[edit]
Skip Bifferty were formed when Newcastle upon Tyne band The Chosen Few (featuring Alan Hull, later of Lindisfarne) changed their name and recruited a new singer, Graham Bell, to replace Hull.[1] Managed by Don Arden, father of Sharon Osbourne,[1] the band were given a contract by RCA Records.
For RCA, the group released a number of psychedelic singles, including 'Man in Black' (produced by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane, both then in the Small Faces), and the 1967 album Skip Bifferty,[1] most recently released with bonus tracks as The Story of Skip Bifferty on Sanctuary Records. Some of their songs were covered by established artists such as Cilla Black, The Tremeloes and The Kingsmen,[citation needed] and they built a following on the 'live' circuit, including touring with The Who in October 1968.[2] They also appeared in the 1960s cult film Smashing Time, featuring Rita Tushingham.
However, a management dispute with Arden[3] eventually led to the band's demise under that name in November 1968. Early in 1969, under the pseudonym 'Heavy Jelly' and with Paul Nichols replacing Jackman on drums, the band released one single on Island Records, 'I Keep Singing That Same Old Song',[4] which received exposure on the Island Records sampler LP Nice Enough to Eat.[5] The name was taken from a joke review in the London magazine Time Out, and confusingly was soon after also used by another group, which featured Jackie Lomax as lead singer, prior to the commencement of his solo career.[6][5][7] Uncovered as Skip Bifferty and without a recording contract, the band, now with Fred Wheatley on drums, split soon after.
Together with Turnbull and Gallagher, Bell formed Bell & Arc in July 1971. Bassist Colin Gibson went on to work with Ginger Baker, Bert Jansch, Alvin Lee and Van Morrison, amongst others. John Turnbull and Mick Gallagher reappeared as Loving Awareness in 1974, their sole LP being plugged to death on offshore Radio Caroline, and in 1977 in The Blockheads, backing Ian Dury; in 1979 Gallagher played and recorded with The Clash and The Only Ones.

Artist: VA Album: Looking At The Pictures In The Sky: The British Psychedelic Sounds Of 1968 Genre: Psychedelic Rock Year: 2017 Tracks: 26 Duration: 03:55:32 Size: 1.01 GB
2017 three CD collection re-issued with new artwork and revised tracklisting. It goes without saying that 1968 doesn’t have the same kind of cachet as 1967 – a year that, in musical terms, will always be indelibly associated with the Summer of Love, Sgt. Pepper and the emergence of psychedelia. But although the major players turned away from the excesses of the previous year in favor of a back-to-basics musical approach, there were arguably a greater number of psychedelic records made in 1968 than during the preceding twelve months. Vital, lysergically-inclined 45s emerged from a whole host of younger groups, with The Factory, Mike Stuart Span, Fleur de Lys, The Fire, The Barrier, Boeing Duveen, Rupert’s People and numerous others all releasing singles that have long been widely regarded by psychedelic collectors as genre classics. All these and more are gathered on Looking At The Pictures In The Sky, which provide a fascinating overview of the group scene in Britain (and Ireland!) in 1968, shining a light on unreleased gems, cult classics, choice album cuts, neglected B-sides and alternative versions. As with it’s 1967 equivalent Let’s Go Down And Blow Our Minds, the four-hour, 78-track anthology Looking At The Pictures In The Sky is housed in a striking clambox that contains a 44 page booklet crammed with biographical information and rare photographs of the featured acts.
