Cak! is a 1982 live comedy album by Alexei Sayle.

The album ends with an early version of "'Ullo John! Gotta New Motor?", the studio recording of which made the UK Top Twenty in 1984.[1]

General

This is Uncle-Lex at his very best, foul-mouthed, rudest and funniest. Live and hilarious. Alexei takes absolutely no prisoners lampooning Mrs Thatcher, Silver-spoon socialists in Hampstead, Help a London Child, Fulham, cockneys, snobs, etc. Yet (Dec 2010) to be reissued as a CD album but still only as a vinyl record or cassette. Missing are the more visual gags eg pot Noodle sketch etc to be found on the VHS(only) 'pirate' tape - still awaiting a DVD release. The album gig format is comedy, song, comedy, song, etc. Lex is a very good singer indeed wiv more than just Ullo john gotta a new motor.! His backing group is the superb: Radical Posture.
