The Flamin' Groovies - Supersneakers (1968 us us mix of psychedelic, blues, rock & roll - remaster edition with 10 bonus tracks - MP3 320K and FLAC)

[ Sundazed Records Series # 63 ]

SUPER SNEAKERS is an essential document in the development of both power pop and the DIY underground.

Self-released in 1968, when pretty much nobody was releasing albums on their own, the seven-track 10-inch LP SNEAKERS was enough of a success that Epic signed them for their 1969 full-length debut SUPERSNAZZ.

Oddly, given the number of archival Groovies reissues, it took until 1996 for SNEAKERS to finally be reissued, in an expanded edition featuring 10 contemporaneous live recordings from original lead singer Roy Loney's private stash.

SNEAKERS is very much a document of its time--there's a psychedelic vibe to songs like "Prelude in A Flat to the Afternoon of a Pud" that's missing from their later, poppier work--but all thelements that made the Groovies special are already here.

The remastering, liner notes, and extras are all up to Sundazed's usual excellent standards.
