Snafu was formed in 1973 by former
Procol Harum and Freedom vocalist
Bobby Harrison along with
Mick Moody, formerly of Tramline, the Mike Cotton Sound and
Juicy Lucy. With
Colin Gibson from
Ginger Baker's Air Force,
Terry Popple from Mickey Jupp's Legend, and session musician
Pete Solley, the band released two critically acclaimed albums for the WWA label in 1974,
Snafu and
Situation Normal. In 1975,
Solley left the band to be replaced by another session musician,
Brian Chatton, and
Tim Hinkley was recruited to complete the lineup that would record the band's third album,
All Funked Up. This album has been seen as the band's "great lost album" because of its limited vinyl-format release, originally on the Capitol label. Shortly after the release of this album in 1976, Snafu broke up. ~ Keith Pettipas
