4.0 out of 5 stars Flamin' Groovies - always underrated, July 12, 2001
By 
This review is from: Absolutely the Best (Audio CD)
The Flamin' Groovies are the missing link between UK pub rock and UK punk/wave. Somewhat underrated when they were active (think mid- to late 1970s), their true value only becomes apparent after a gap of more than 20 years (at least that happened in my case:-) - anyway, "Shake Some Action" is a classical teenager hymn and the best song to sample if you want to get into the band's material. Not everything they put out is great, but this is a decent album, and it's available at a decent price. Check this out!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bootleg, April 1, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Absolutely the Best (Audio CD)
Yet another bootleg of the Flamin' Groovies where the label makes the money and the artists see none of it (think AIM Records, bigtime mafioso bootleggers from Australia, from which the material on this disc is culled). If you want a proper introduction to this incredible band, but a copy of Groovies Greatest Grooves (which does pay royalties to Cyril Jordan) or Slow Death (on the Norton label, likewise paying the artist). Don't waste your money on this shoddy product from hucksters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Mediocre, April 25, 2003
By 
The Orange Duke "orangeduke" (Cupertino, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Absolutely the Best (Audio CD)
The Groovies, in spite of their legendary reputation and integrity, are nothing all that special, they are basically just a garage band that never went anywhere. If this really is their absolute best, it's easy to see why.
