Supersnazz

by Bruce EderA flawed but basically good debut album. The band's rock & roll tendencies were compromised by a producer more suited to Gary Puckett & the Union Gap (which he had previously produced), who insisted on dubbing brass onto the material. But Roy Loney and Cyril Jordan's hard-rocking roots come through, along with some unexpected digressions into more bluesy and jazzy territory than the band was previously known for.Supersnazz is The Flamin' Groovies' first studio album, released in 1969 on the Epic label. It was their only album for a major company. Its commercial failure put an end to the group's major-company record career. The record was later released on the compact disc format in 2000 on Sundazed Records with several bonus tracks.
