Supernaut s/t LP (Polydor, 1976)

Now for some real glam! Though they had a couple hits in their homeland of Australia, Perth's Supernaut are relatively unknown. In 1974, they were playing as a pub rock band under the name Moby Dick. They moved to Melbourne, went glam and changed their name to Supernaut. They put out a single - the edgy (at least back then) I Like It Both Ways - and it made the Aussie Top Twenty. So did the single Too Hot to Touch and this here album. Punk rock hit and they changed styles and their name to the Naughts.

Obviously named after the Black Sabbath song, there are some heavy, Sabbath-like riffs on Supernaut's debut, enough to make me wonder what this record would have sounded like had it been made two years earlier, when glam still had some balls, or four years prior when heavy metal and glam were making a nice transition. Another thought it how Supernaut would have sounded if they held off a year and recorded as punk hit. Musings aside, this is a killer record. In fact, I'd rate it as one of my favorite glam records. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

These records come from my personal collection. They have all been extremely well cared for over the years since I bought them, and they come from a pet and smoke free environment. I will be listing a number of my treasured records, ranging from punk to glam to classic rock to Australian to hard rock / heavy metal and everything in between, over the coming months. If you like this record there is a good chance that other titles I list may also interest you, so feel free to have a look at my other auctions and email me with any queries.
