4 out of 5 stars the velvet underground's west coast band.........2003-04-16

...not really but they do share the same proto-punk sound...sticking to the basics of rock n roll, these guys are so amazing on songs like 'love have mercy', 'pistol packing', and 'bam balam'...its just upbeat and fun...makes me wanna' get up and dance and not care...which is what we should be doing anyway right?

4 out of 5 stars Flamin Groovies First Album Is Their Best.......1999-11-29

Wow, I can't believe no one has reviewed this. Could be that this first album, originally released in 1969, has been forgotten in favor of the band's later recordings like "Shake Some Action," which, being produced by Dave Edmunds, fit more neatly into the typical rock hack's categories--power-pop or whatever you want to call it. Still and all, I guess I like "Supersnazz" best of all the Flamin Groovies albums. The album both looks backward, to the Beatles and '50s rock and roll, and foreward to the revisionist bands of the '70s, like Big Star and the Raspberries. Whereas the Raspberries were crass and from Cleveland, and Big Star muted and from Memphis, the Groovies had a bit of San Francisco gaslight in their sound--a kind of rueful, civilized approach, an end-of-the-era sound. They never sounded so un-mannered again. Classics: "The First One's Free," "Laurie Did It," and "Brushfire." You want to hear where Wilco and all the rest come from, you could do worse than "Supersnazz." And remember, back in 1969, a lot of folks said that rock was dead, which may have been true, because an album like this, coming in the same year as the Stones' "Let It Bleed," seemed pretty insubstantial Now it sounds like a charming minor classic.

5 out of 5 stars First (major label) album and still the best Flamin' Groovies for me.......2006-03-22

For me, Supersnazz, is still my favorite Flamin' Groovies LP. I know Flamingo and Teenage Head among others are supposed to be rated over it, but not for me. It's one of my favorite LPs from the late 60's/early 70's. Some albums have a unique sound -- Sunflower by The Beach Boys is one that comes to mind. The production gives the album a life of it's own. There is something about the songs, the smoothness of the acoustic and electric instrument sound with added weirdo touches -- and yet it still rocks and is a lot of fun. I particularly like Around the Corner (another Beach Boys reference point) and The Girl Can't Help It. Oh yeah, the album cover's a lot of fun too.

3 out of 5 stars What did the hippies know anyway?.......2003-03-27

The Flamin' Groovies major label debut, the already-old school rock & roll of Supersnazz entered the 1969 San Francisco pyschedelic milieu like a trouser cough in a crowded elevator. At the time, the Groovies' brand of trashy R&B revisionism was considered closer to the cheap nostalgia of Sha Na Na than the rock-as-art zeitgeist. But time, it turns out, was on their side. Supersnazz is a fine document of Nuggets-era garage rock, its only flaw being that the sound was cleaned and polished by the record company to within an inch of its life. Subsequent releases would see the Groovies correcting that mistake with gusto.

4 out of 5 stars Never made it big, but shuld have........2000-04-01

I saw this band in a small venue, The Old Mill in SLC, UT, in the sixties or early seventies. It was like a private Stones concert. It was one of the best concerts I ever saw and still remember it to this day. I went right out and bought this album. It is not a lot like the concert but still quite good. They have a "best of" album also.

      There is something about Japanese bands that i like. They take themselves very seriously but there is an innocence about them that makes them seem to rock hard because of their honesty. This album is raw,short,to the point and it rocks. You may also want to check out Yellow Machinegun.
