5.0 out of 5 stars and we want a taxi drivers opinion on pop music..., April 1, 2000

not much to add to the previous review, which was extremely well done . this is one of the 5 greatest albums of the era in my opinion( 1970). you'll listen to it over and over. side one consists of excellent roy wood originals and side two has covers of material by the interesting but forgotten baroque rock band ars nova, mann weill ( don't make by baby blue was originally a version of their composition by the shadows) and folkie tom paxton. nothing of that time quite sounds like this, most pop genres are explored to some degree. some parts are psychedelic, some are like early heavy metal, some are byrds-esque. the tracks are interspersed with witty and strange man on the street interviews. the production is amazingly clear and way ahead of its time and yet not overdone. the drumming of bev bevan and the underrated genius of roy wood's guitar will stagger you . this is one of those rare albums that will totally amaze a listener the first time they play this great album . i couldnt recommend an album more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blast from the past!, March 10, 2004

What can I say about this album? I was cleaning out the attic today and came across my old vinyl, and as I was reading the Shazam track listing I realised that I could still hear.... even after thirty-two years... every note and every lyric and every brilliant wrenching comic-satirical nuance. I had to stop the clean-up effort and go downstairs and put it on the hi-fi (yes, I still own and USE a turntable, thanks very much ;) and have that moment all over again. These guys were great poseurs who actually backed their bombast with groove, ability, and style. I love it. There's pathos, humour, lots of noise, a great display of middle-finger chutzpah... and they don't sound like anybody else you've ever heard.

So... toot your organ and we'll be away! ;) Yes! it's a recording!

I first heard this album back in the late-60s/early 70s--I can't remember clearly that far back. I was in a used record store in Hollywood, browsing through the stacks and stacks of vinyl, when I heard the most incredible rock music I'd ever heard up to that point. I could not ignore it, as it became more than just background music for shoppers like myself. I was so taken in by the music that I went to the store owner and asked him what it was. He showed me the album and I bought it immediately. You know how you played Sgt Pepper over and over when you first got it? Shazam got played more than any of my other albums. I couldn't get enough of it. Somewhere along the line, the album disappeared. When CDs became the rage, I searched all over for Shazam, and finally found it as an import (Japanese). Actually, it was part of a Move "twofer". The music is still as fresh as it was nearly 30 years ago. (Read the review that is a couple down...good background). My personal favorite is "Cherry Blossom Clinic (Revisited)", but they are all excellent. This is truly one of those "perfect" albums. You can't go wrong with this one. Heck, I'm tempted to buy this reissue just to hear the other songs that aren't part of the original Shazam!
