One of America's greatest, most influential, and legendary cult bands, Flamin' Groovies came out 

of the San Francisco area in 1965 playing greasy, bluesy, rock & roll dashed with a liberal sprinkling 

of British Invasion panache, in an era soon to be dominated by hippie culture and hyperextended raga-rock freakouts. 

Caught in a double bind of playing the wrong kind of music at the wrong time (as well as not looking the part), 

the Groovies were almost completely forgotten as the Fillmore/Avalon Ballroom scenes, 

dominated by the Dead, the Jefferson Airplane, et al., rendered them anachronistic. 

The plain truth, however, was that despite not being in tune with the zeitgeist, 

the Groovies made great music, and managed to sustain a career that lasted for over two decades

The Flamin' Groovies' debut album went almost directly into the cut-out bins within 

a year or so of its 1969 release. Fortunately, the band survived the neglect 

heaped on that record, and has survived in one form or another into the 21st century. 

And in the ensuing years, Supersnazz has achieved an exalted reputation among 

not just Groovies fans, but lovers of rock & roll in general, having held up 

extraordinarily well across the decades and still able to make its own case for 

greatness as an astonishing document of straight-ahead rock & roll circa 1969, 

fully contemporary to its time (and, by extension, almost timeless), with none 

of the artificial period nostalgia (and parodying) that was already creeping into 

the "oldies" scene. But it's also a lot of fun; in fact, based on the evidence, 

Supersnazz may well have been the most fun record of 1969. Roy Loney, Cyril Jordan, 

Tim Lynch, George Alexander, and Danny Mihm run through a quirky mix of 

Loney and Loney/Jordan originals and standards, encompassing styles from 

proto-'70s punk (want to bet the Ramones wore out copies of this album?) 

to '50s New Orleans R&B, country music, and even ragtime, and while a small bit 

of it is compromised by the presence of some too-prominent clarinet and saxophone, 

the whole record is a rollicking good time, made even better by the sequencing, 

which offers a full range of surprises, even on the fourth or fifth listen -- one can 

never settle in with this record before something weirdly wonderful comes along 

to draw the listener in yet another direction. From the fiery, Brian Jones-era Stones-style, 

fuzztone-driven opener "Love Have Mercy," the band shows what it can do 

in everything from straight-ahead boogie to slow ballads...(AllMusic)
