During their early period with Roy Loney as lead singer, the Flamin' Groovies made one great album (Teenage Head), one very good one (Flamingo), and one that was flawed but enjoyable (Supersnazz). When Cyril Jordan took over as the band's unquestioned leader following Loney' s departure, the Groovies shifted gears from supercharged roots rock to neo-British Invasion pop, and while every record they released had more than a few brilliant moments, they seemed incapable of making an album that was solid from front to back. Thankfully, some bright penny at Sire Records got the idea of putting together a Flamin' Groovies compilation CD, and the result, Groovies' Greatest Grooves, makes a superb case for the inconsistent but undeniable brilliance of their post-Loney repertoire.
Groovies' Greatest Grooves harvests pretty much every great track from the group's three albums for Sire (Shake Some Action, Flamin' Groovies Now!, and Jumpin' in the Night) and tosses in one superb cut with Loney (the masterful "Teenage Head"), two hard-to-find ravers with short-time vocalist Chris Wilson (including the much-covered "Slow Death"), and a rough but exciting demo of "River Deep, Mountain High" cut for a proposed collaboration with Phil Spector. While Jordan's edition of the Flamin' Groovies may not have rocked as hard as Loney's, that doesn't say that they couldn't rock hard when they wanted to, as "Jumpin' in the Night," "Tallahassee Lassie," and "Please Please Girl" easily prove, and "Shake Some Action," "You Tore Me Down," and "All I Wanted" are as transcendent as pop music gets. A satisfying 75 minutes of pure bliss, Groovies' Greatest Grooves is a one-stop shopping place for anyone wanting the cream of the Flamin' Groovies' faux-Brit era, and a fine introduction to one of the best American bands of the period.

SOTD et quelques blogs amis organisent un concours:
''The Leecher Of the Year''
En l'occurence dans notre cas, le mec qui fait son site de téléchargement en dépouillant le contenu des autres blogs sans bien sûr même les citer! Le genre de gus qui n'a pas de scrupules à modifier les tags, l'artwork, le bitrate d'un fichier pour effacer sa provenance.
Il y a toujours eu des emprunts sur le net: quand les gens citent les sources il n'y a JAMAIS de problème mais aujourd'hui chez certains chacals ça prend une tout autre ampleur: celle du pillage !!!
Nous avons déjà quelques individus bien placés !!!
LA SUITE EST ENTRE LEURS MAINS...
et entre les nôtres!

bonne suite MrMR
tsss on repeat after me:
Noms en « al »
Les noms en « al » font leur pluriel en « aux ».
Exceptions

Remarque
- idéal fait au pluriel idéals ou idéaux.

Sans vouloir passer pour un audiophile à la con qui écoute d'avantage ses enceintes que ses disques, si le contenu de cette compile est tip-top, en revanche le son de ce CD est pourri : plat, aigu et métallique, sans relief ni pêche : je l'ai bien vite revendu pour me procurer le coffret (plus cher, mais quand on aime, on ne compte pas!) "Bust out at full speed", qui regroupe les 3 albums Sire dans leur intégralité, et qui au niveau du son rend vraiment justice à nos frimeurs flamboyants !...
On va justement pouvoir comparer tout ça avec le pressage français du LP "Shake Some Action" (Philips, 1976) qui semble une référence en matière de son et qu'on trouve en flac sur le blog White Trash Soul.
La suite arrive bientôt avec le cd sorti par Aim Records, celui de DBK Work, la version qui figure sur la compil Raven (This band is Red Hot) pour finir par le double cd dont tu parles !
Stay tuned !
Bust out at full speed
