5.0 out of 5 stars Same versions as on original LP's, April 24, 2004

By	Don H. (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews

"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.......

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything in one place...however..., April 25, 2005

By	T. LeBaron "Todd LeBaron" (NH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you've got the 3 albums on CD from Rhino, the only thing you're missing is the one bonus track Train kept a-Rollin'. That can be found on the vinyl-only Best of Nazz (also from Rhino). The single album reissues did one thing this collection didn't do: it kept the tracks in their original running order, and that's how these albums sound best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great band, January 22, 2004

By	Rollie Anderson (Forney, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
