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,[2] most recently released with bonus tracks as The Story of Skip Bifferty on Sanctuary Records.
Some of their songs were covered by established artists 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.
[6] 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.
[7][6][8] Uncovered as Skip Bifferty and without a recording contract, the band, now with Fred Wheatley on drums, split soon after.
Bassist Colin Gibson went on to work with Ginger Baker, Bert Jansch, Alvin Lee and Van Morrison, amongst others.
