I'm afraid that I have to agree with Andrew. The reference book that I have
at hand (THE NEW ROCK RECORD) mentions that the Masked Marauders record was
done by The Cleanliness and Godliness Skiffle Band.

Now, I suppose that it's possible that the members of the C&GSB were the
same people who were in The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, but...

BTW, I think that The Masked Marauders is a truly inspired answer to the
question of what group Toejam Jawallaby played in. I almost died laughing.
