The Mafia Stole My Guitar
The Mafia Stole My Guitar is the second album produced by Alex Harvey after leaving The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. The earlier Alex Harvey Presents: The Loch Ness Monster was made while the rest of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band were recording Fourplay. One reviewer described the 'New Band' as 'a competent crew of old style blues-jazz orientated rock musicians' and suggested elements of the album were reminiscent of Colosseum and The Soft Machine. [1] This was to be the last album Harvey released during his lifetime; he died in 1982.
