The Nazz Collection To Get

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

I had not heard these songs in some time & decided to give it a listen on the way to work. Early work with a guy named Todd Rundgren in the band. This band is not mainstream like many bands of the time but did have a radio hit with "Open My Eyes" but all the other tracks are a good listen & really think they deserve more airplay on classic radio stations. Do I recommend it, yes, anyone who loved the 60's garage rock sound should love this collection. So check it out, all the music is here for the listening. Even a track "Hello It's Me" which Todd re-recorded and made a hit from solo in the 70's. So if you can find this for a decent price, grab it, it is worth it.
Drop by my website sometime @ JudeMac Forever & look around. Something there for about everyone.

Great band, great music

A cost-effective way to hear the Nazz. Is it complete, chronological or the definitive document of the band? Probably not. But it's good sampler and I finally have "Open My Eyes" on my iPhone, so I'm happy with the purchase.

Get Yer Nazz Here!

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2005

"Open Our Eyes", the latest Nazz anthology really doesn't sport anything new, except for a cover of "Train Kept A-Rollin'". It is, however, a very complete catalogue of the work proper that the Nazz did. For sticklers this CD set will rankle, because the song orders for the original albums have been screwed up in favor of a more thematic approach. Generally the anthology is set up where the first CD is the hard-rocking side and the second one is the more cerebral one. As a result, most of the first album and some of the third takes up the first CD, whereas the bulk of the second and third albums comprise the second. This doesn't, however, prevent the best songs from opening the first disc! "Open My Eyes" was/is/and probably will always be one of the best songs that Todd Rundgren ever wrote. "Hello It's Me", the big single, follows, but fast forward a couple of songs and you get to Rundgren's pre-Something/Anything opus, the ethereal, string-driven "If That's The Way You Feel". This, along with "Forget All About It" and "A Beautiful Song" are the real reasons to buy this anthology-if you don't already have the Nazz on CD! For those who don't know, Rundgren would go on to have an immensely successful career as both artist and producer. As in the Nazz, his songs would straddle the fence between the human (the soulful ballads) and the absurd (his sometimes annoying obsession with technology and vaudeville). If you want a ground zero song for this dialectic, listen to the wonderfully whimsical Meridian Leeward. Also included in the anthology package are some good liner notes where Rundgren describes how the band came to be as well as some of the internal dynamics that were happening while the band was active.

One of the great 60's cult bands

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2003

For anyone (like me) whose Nazz collection consists of scratchy old collectors' vinyl, bootlegs and homemade tapes of someone else's scratchy old collectors' vinyl, this remastered anthology is a must. Although fans of Rundgren's prog rock days would disagree, a lot of his most exciting work was with Philly's finest, The Nazz. Nazz bucked the hippy/trippy trends of the day and wore their Who/Small Faces/Yardbirds/Cream influences on their Carnaby Street sleeves, with crisp arrangements of concise power-pop songs. Although Rundgren was just cutting his songwriting teeth and the material was somewhat uneven, one must also remember that this band's entire recording career lasted less than 2 years. Who knows what would have happened if they had stuck it out. Todd's guitar work is inspired, and Thom Mooney gets my vote for one of rock's all-time underrated drummers. If you like Rundgren's early solo work or either Nuggets box set, this compliation will not disappoint.

Same versions as on original LP's

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2004

"A Music Fan" wrote in his/her review:
"....the version of "Only One Winner" on this collection is not the same as the one on Nazz III, so a completist would still have to buy that CD. The Nazz III version had Todd singing, the version on here is, as best as I can tell, the same as the version on "13th and Pine", with Stewkey singing...."
Not true. Stewkey sang the original version on "Nazz III"; the same version found on this Anthology CD. Stewkey does indeed sing lead on the "13th and Pine" version; but it's only a slightly different mix of the same song. Todd sings lead on the version found on the "Todd Sings" CD. [confused yet?? LOL]
I've been a NAZZ fan since their beginning and would tell you that this CD is worth seeking out. Too bad the compilers didn't put the songs in the same order as they appeared on the original 3 LP's.......

Great band

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2004

What makes this a "5" to me is that it has all of their songs in one package. Yeah, some of the songs are pretty strange and makes it evident why the second lp was not a double album but that was the essence of NAZZ. They were hit and miss. Who knows, without this band we may never have heard of Todd Rundgren. I must also mention that the liner notes are most interesting with many comments about the evolution of the group coming from Todd himself. For every fledgling musician that had a combo back in the late 60s this was a group that you could emulate and copy. You could play these songs at the roller rink and no one would give you any crap about performing "obscure" material. Everyone in the audience liked NAZZ even if they had no clue who they were.

Remastered?

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2009

Verified Purchase

I bought this because I love the first Nazz album & it was cheaper than the remastered "Nazz". This CD did not dissapointment me in that respect. The 1st Nazz was great. The rest of the CD was inconsistent. Some songs had no bass at all. The ones that didn't were tinny & crappy. If you liked the the 2nd & 3rd Nazz albums - don't buy this. I will probably never listen to the 2nd disc because of the ups & downs of bass. There is nothing more annoying than getting up & down to adjust the tone, just to hear one album.

"Nazz","Nazz Nazz","Nazz 'V"のオリジナル・アルバム3枚の全ての曲が入っているのでとてもお買い得。Todd FanでまだNazzを聞いたことのない方はVocalが違うので気になるかもしれませんが曲調はToddなので気に入る人は多いと思います。これを聞くとToddは若いうちにすでに自分の曲調を完成させていたことが分かります。
