[acetate]

NAZZNAZZ METAL ACETATE

REGENT SOUND STUDIOS
This is acetate of their second LP owned by Mike Adrian. I heard formerly owner was Stewkey himself. (you'll see the autograph of him) Fungo Bat acetates(3 LPs,6 sides) also made by same label. (Regent Sound Studio,Inc.---located in NY)

NAZZ 3 METAL ACETATE

LRS
This is acetate are preowned by Jim Lowe(ex-Electric Prunes,engineered of RUNT). Perhaps he created songorders and mixed from Fungo Bat session except NAZZ NAZZ songs. Todd was already quit from Nazz,so he didn't know what he did. Finally this songorder was not opted and modified to released version. Sing you a song I & II,tender ballad(now its titled "It must be everywhere" available from Distortion records and "Nazz from Philadelphia" from airmail records,JAPAN) were stripped.

[helloCrowded]

HELLO IT'S ME/CROWDED
UK SGC 219 002

This was released only UK after Open My Eyes/Hello It's Me. Changing coupling for selling "Hello It's Me". Maybe ballad songs were good reaction.

This was for radio station promotion. 2 versions of Hello It's Me.

Open My Eyes/Hello It's Me

This record is known as bootleg,sleeve is duplicated from US"Not Wrong Long" but out of focus. There's also printed in blue,yellow(and other colors) paper and some are no picture sleeve. I know some variations of color. I confirmed red,blue,violet,clear and green(not transparent) and black.Black is very sumilar with official. Check point is sharpness of printed lettering.

[nazz3Picture]

NAZZ III LP(picture disc)

Perhaps this record is bootleg.
flip side is the same picture with front
(music is also the same both sides)
It made by thick vinyl with hollowed white cover
issued in early 80's made in US
Some people says it was made less than 500 copies

(NOT IN PICTURE)BBC PLAYMUSIC DISC

This UK compilaton disc of BBC radio for broadcasts in early 70s. Selection from 2nd and 3rd album,but no difference from original albums. Front cover is regular "BBC Playmusic",like a company cover. Back cover features titles,intro times,songs of tempo for airplay.

JAPANESE LPs

[nazzJPNobi]

NAZZ first album with OBI
JAPAN Nippon Grammophon SMT-1053

This normal official LP in Japan released in late 60s. But now OBI is the rarest item. This is hard to find item,but you can buy Japanese original Nazz LP around $100(vg+ condition) without obi very often. LP with obi is seldom seen. Recently online auction offered this with OBI ,MB is 50000yen($450). Horrible!

[nazz2JPNobi]

NAZZ NAZZ with OBI

MISCs

[nazz2reel]

NAZZ NAZZ reel to reel tape
by GRT

Reel to reel tapes was selling as retail. For open reel users
Maybe all 3 LPs exist. Song order was changed due to tapelength.

[nazz2cass]

NAZZ NAZZ cassette tape
by GRT 570-5002

This cassette tape was sold in 1970s,the same era with reel to reel and 8 track tape I suppose. Manufactures by GRT(General Recorded Tape,INC.) Cover layout is almost same as 8 track tape.

NAZZ 8 Track tape
GRT 870-5001

NAZZ III 8 Track tape
GRT 8070-5004

In US,all 3 LPs are issued by 8 track tape.There's 4 segments of this album,because stereo 4 programs contains in tape. Song order was changed due to tapelength.
