Supersnazz is the debut studio album by the rock band Flamin' Groovies. It was released in 1969 on the Epic label. The release was their only album recorded expressly for a major record label, although all of their next five albums were distributed by major labels. Supersnazz was later released in compact disc format in 2000 on Sundazed Music with four edits of songs from the album (done in 1969 for singles) included as bonus tracks.

Critical Reception

[edit]

Bruce Eder of AllMusic described the album as proto-punk and suggested that the Ramones probably wore out copies of the album.[1] Robert Christgau originally gave the album a lukewarm review with a B+ grade[10], but later revisited it in 2013 and gave it an A, especially praising "Laurie Did It".[2]
