Nazz Nazz is the second studio album by American rock band Nazz, released in April 1969 by SGC Records.
Recording After a brief trip to England in October 1968, cut short by visa problems, Nazz recorded their second album, originally entitled Fungo Bat in Los Angeles in late 1968 and early 1969. The album was originally intended as a double album but was shortened to a single LP before its release in April 1969.
There was dissent within the group about releasing a double album, since the band was relatively new and not widely known. Guitarist Todd Rundgren favored the double album, in part to showcase experimental, piano-based material which was heavily influenced by singer/songwriter Laura Nyro. Stewkey and Mooney favored a single album featuring the group's original Beatles-Who-Yardbirds-Cream derived sound, a decision ultimately supported by their record company.
Disillusioned by these events, Rundgren departed the group shortly after Nazz Nazz was released. Much of the leftover material was used on the posthumous Nazz III album that was released after he launched his solo career.
Release history On first release in 1969 there was a limited edition by SGC Records on red vinyl. Most SGC copies were on black vinyl. A later re-issue by Rhino Records in the 1980s was also on red vinyl. This is NOT that.

Originally intended as a double album titled Fungo Bat, Nazz Nazz is at once as equally diverse and more cohesive than the Nazz's eponymous debut. It's a weird trick, but the group pulls it off, largely due to the rapidly maturing talents of Todd Rundgren, their main songwriter and producer. Throughout the Nazz's first record, he proved that he was a gifted mimic and a savvy melodicist, yet he never quite landed upon a signature style outside of their debut single "Hello It's Me"/"Open My Eyes." Not coincidentally, these were the two songs on the record that the Nazz produced themselves, and they followed that lead on Nazz Nazz, fusing their sundry influences into a distinctive psych pop sound. Sonically, it's certainly more ambitious than its predecessor and, apart from the odd forays into soul and blues (filtered through Cream, naturally) on "Featherbedding Lover" and "Kiddie Boy," it's more consistent. In many ways, that makes Nazz Nazz a better listen than its predecessor, even if it doesn't have a knockout punch like "Open My Eyes." That's because Rundgren's songs exhibit a stronger sense of identity, as ballads like "Letters Don't Count" and snarky pop-rockers like "Hang On Paul" point the way toward his solo career. There are a few embarrassing detours, such as the hippie-dippy "Meridian Leeward," but the second Nazz record rivals the first because it offers a progression. It shows that the band, or at least Rundgren, have figured out how to blend their influences into something original. The Nazz may never have delivered a follow-up to this -- Nazz III consists of the remaining sessions from the abandoned double album -- but this is certainly ground zero for Rundgren's fascinating solo career.

Vinyl is used but in good or very good condition with very little hiss or popping - still a very listenable item -
covers do show wear - see pictures for details.
There could be surface marks. Where they are obvious I play the track(s) and make a judgement call on condition.
I don't sell records that aren't playable. If they aren't playable I state why I'm still selling it (the cover).
I clean the records and wipe the album covers down lightly. It is possible there could be bit of a scent to them.
In most cases I put the record in a new sleeve (old sleeves are still included) and an album sleeve.
All records are packed with care in industry standard record box packaging.
I'm not interested in advisement on how it should be packaged. Don't bother.
Also, I'm not interested in any discussion post auction about a "click or pop on
side 2 track 7" you've been advised. Audiophiles are welcomed to go elsewhere.
