     Inspired by a variety of British Invasion groups, from the omnipresent
     Beatles to cult favorites the Move, Todd Rundgren and his Woody's Truck
     Stop colleague Carson Van Osten formed the Nazz in 1967. Taking their name
     from an obscure Yardbirds song, the Nazz were arguably the first
     Anglophiles in rock history. There had been many groups that drew
     inspiration from the Beatles and the Stones, but none had been so
     self-consciously reverent as the Nazz. One of their first singles, "Open My
     Eyes," twisted the riff from the Who's "I Can't Explain," and much of their
     music felt like homages to Brit rock from the Kinks to Cream, thereby
     setting a precedent that was followed by scores of North American guitar
     pop bands from the Raspberries to Sloan.

     An anthology is usually understood to be a selection of material, but
     Purple Pyramid's compilation of recordings by the Nazz, Open Our Eyes: The
     Anthology, actually collects all of the band's legitimately released tracks
     on two CDs with a running time of over two hours and ten minutes. That's
     the 34 songs that made up the albums Nazz, Nazz Nazz, and Nazz III, plus an
     outtake cover of "Train Kept a Rollin'" first released on the 1985 LP Best
     of the Nazz and making its CD debut here. But if compiler Kieron Tyler
     exercises no judgment about what to include, he does take it upon himself
     to provide a new sequence rather than just running one album after another
     in the order they were released originally in 1968-1970.

     There is some justification for this. Nazz Nazz was first intended to be a
     double album but truncated into a single one, with the extra material being
     released as Nazz III 20 months later. So, Tyler, after extracting the
     novelty song "Loosen Up" (a parody of the Archie Bell & the Drells hit
     "Tighten Up") from Nazz III to lead off the compilation, takes a shot, in
     the last seven tracks of the first disc and all of the second disc, at
     assembling a version of that never-released double album. This does not
     explain, however, why he also finds it necessary to re-sequence the ten
     songs from the first album.

     The new sequencing is not an improvement on the old, and for Nazz fans
     accustomed to the running order of the old LPs after 30 years, it will
     sound odd. But in whatever order, the package contains all of the group's
     recordings on one album. Tyler's liner notes, detailing the band's history
     with the help of Todd Rundgren, are excellent and contain new information.
