SCARCE 1970 ORIGINAL "ROCKER" DELUXE!
PINK LABEL GATEFOLD FIRST PRESSING!
THE FLAMIN' GROOVIES
Flamingo
USA - Kama Sutra - KSBS 2021
Very nice, very clean 1970 original first pressing on the PINK label Kama Sutra label and in thick gatefold cover...the second Flamin' Groovies album, by this album the band had moved from the San Francisco scene to the Detroit scene where their 'rocker' sound was duly accepted...
In between Supersnazz and this second album, the Groovies met the MC5 and the Stooges in Detroit, were left in total awe about what they saw, and decided: 'This is the way to go!'. Flamingo is a hard-rocking, ass-kicking record concentrating on retro boogie and updating it for the emerging Seventies, and even though it kicks seriously less ass than contemporary MC5 and Stooges albums, the Groovies can rock, sure enough, doing rocker-boogie and they do it with so much energy...
The rocking "originals" quite good. 'Gonna Rock Tonite' is a cool rockabilly-rocker as well, and Jordan still manages to raise some genuine hell with his manic guitar solos. The Stonesey 'Comin' After Me' is mostly notorious for its lyrics - you could say the lyrics actually ridicule LSD fantasies, with its references to cops with buzzsaws and state troopers with meathooks 'comin' after me' and the mid-section which goes 'my friends say I gotta stay away from the glue'. Then there's the standard blues-rock of 'Headin' For The Texas Border' - which is sure nothing to complain about. Then there's the subtle Jerry Lee Lewis references on 'Second Cousin' which Loney is going to make 'my first bride'; one could say that the lyrics are actually the main distinction from the Fifties which the Groovies introduce on here. The SLOW and SLEAZY blooze-rock of 'Jailbait' has a decent riff. The fast and furious 'Road House' brings the album to a suitably aggressive conclusion, with manic drumming and feedback-a-plenty and everything a heavy rocker needs....
